I’ll bet Potomac won’t change much, even if they don’t appreciate in value. It’s the more marginal McMansion burbs we should watch.

I agree with this thread...we need more land zoned for walkable urban stuff then is actually built upon it to be a competitive, that is modest priced, market.

Man, there's no escaping this culture problem. Just got chased down and cut off by the driver who was stuck behind me while I yielded to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Driver laid on horn the entire time I waited, which was my legal obligation. Streets are out of control.

Even in the vast American drivable urban landscape, families can figure out how to do without a car—walking and biking to meet every personal need. Here’s how it’s done and you can do it, too. cnu.org/publicsquare/2…

"While New Urbanists have increased the supply of walkable, mixed-use places with access to transit, the supply falls far short of meeting the demand for such places. This has forged an affordability problem, and, in turn, and equity problem." cnu.org/publicsquare/2…
