I’m sorry, no. Under this proposal, D.C. taxpayers would cover thousands of $$$ in unpaid rent while landlords would be forced to forgive a third of someone’s debt—because going to court is “stressful”? Life is stressful. You still have to pay your bills.

We are really going to raise taxes so that the District can bail out tenants who won't pay their rent?

It would be good if muggers in DC were afraid enough of consequences that they didn't feel free to return to the scene of their crime and demand back the phone they dropped.

Excellent dive into DC's housing voucher system. How, you might ask, could DC be paying way over market as part of its voucher program and still have a waiting list of eligible tenants who cannot find housing?
It's simple: DC has made it impossible to evict bad tenants, and landlords have come to see voucher tenants as a risk.
We are in desperate need of leadership from the DC Council on this.

Today in Capital Commonsense! @kevincorinth has a commonsense reform to cut the exceptionally high payment standard for housing vouchers, allowing D.C. to serve many more families. The current standard:
Studio—$3,652
1 BR—$3,768
2BR—$4,200
3BR—$5,301

Surprise: An anti-Waymo astroturf group sounds like it is quite obviously a front for Uber, with whom it shares "public affairs" consultants in New York and Pennsylvania. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

I do not think that we should accept more crashes, pedestrian injuries, and passenger assaults in order to protect largely part-time gig work, while also sending a signal that DC isn't friendly to new tech.

There is a widespread impression that all of the District's economic woes are attributable to DOGE, but that's not true.
We did build a lot of housing in the 2010s, so that's part of this story, but the economy did not recover post-COVID the way it did in other cities.

The obvious outcome of this misguided law is that fewer landlords will allow dogs. The inability of @RobertWhite_DC and many other councilmembers to think through even the most rudimentary secondary effects of regulation is baffling.
A D.C. law aims to limit the amount of fees and deposits residents must pay for pets. wusa9.com/article/life/anima…

This is so bad! No housing will get built in these conditions.
“We’re seeing losses to owners unlike anything we’ve seen before. My own family has invested in real estate for over 50 years in D.C., and we’ve stopped investing in multifamily properties..."
Thursday’s council hearing featured a clash over how to balance renter protections with what landlords describe as an economic “death spiral.”

The slow-motion collapse of DC’s housing market has been overlooked with local newsroom gutting & most national news org editors/bureau chiefs live in still desirable luxury n’hoods.
But @jackiepeiser nails it here for @CityCast_DC
Sellers everywhere, buyers barely exist. …

The degree to which D.C. and Maryland have triggered capital flight from their housing sectors through (different) bad policy choices is really something to behold.

The District brings in more money today than 10 years ago. Income tax collections are way up.
D.C. has raised taxes on high earners, businesses, commercial property, mansions, utilities, hospitals, cars, gas—and there’s still a budget gap. open.substack.com/pub/capita…

It appears the record for D.C.'s most-expensive condo has been smashed, with a pair of adjacent units at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Georgetown going for $18.5M combined. Deal was closed super quietly... bizjournals.com/washington/n…

Metro gave us a tour of one of its original train control rooms at Farragut North. #wmata says rooms like this would largely go away if it could get funding to replace its signaling system. Many things in this room date to the 1970s & many of the parts aren’t even made anymore.

Big picture: 2025 is on track to be one of the worst years for home sales in the past 30 years. (it may even turn out to be THE worst).
June data came in even weaker than expected today. 3.93 million sales (annualized data)
That's down from over 5 million pre-pandemic
**Housing is a key reason many Americans still feel that the basics for a decent life are unaffordable. They can't buy a home right now.**
Lower mortgage rates would help
More inventory would help even more

Happy birthday to the Green Line! 33 years ago today, the first Green Line stations opened - U Street, Shaw-Howard, and Mount Vernon Square as part of a northward extension from Gallery Place-Chinatown station. Here’s to many more miles ahead! #wmata #NationalTrainDay
