Joe Mamo who owns over half the gas stations in D.C. is going to develop most of them adding to the urbanity of D.C. even more. So we have the gas station problem solved too....next.....
My experience is that parking is far easier in DT DC when compared to Boston
Almost every building has an underground parking garage in D.C. Why wouldn't it be easier to park under buildings in D.C. versus on the street in Boston or in the few parking above ground structures. Downtown Boston is so tiny it's going to be hard to find parking. And Boston doesn't have the infrastructure D.C. has when it comes to building capabilities like parking garages.

It is obvious no place does, but I actually meant street parking in DC, have always found DC friendlier to the driver than is DC. Why does DC need parking in the first place though, you came off suggesting no one drives earlier (or maybe that was Finest, sometimes i get confused)
As has been stated many times, the future s unknown, regardless those single homes 50 ft away will still remain
Yes, the development plans are going through now! NOW! N....O...W! Do you have any idea how many buildings are under construction around D.C.? As long as our boulevards are urban canyons, away from downtown, the single family homes can remain. Urban Canyon boulevards is what I care about at least outside the core.

linear urbanity, ok. Though I will agree this is quite admirable and DC does a great job with TOD
So EVERY gas station is currently being retrofitted?
DC development reminds me of what is going on in Cambridge these days, especially around Kendall Sq
So...other than "what you believe to be true"....where can I find factual information that proves what you are saying. I have shown you factual information and you have shown me your worthless opinion.

No not all the gas stations. Just the ones Joe Mamo want to redevelop which he says is most of them. Should discourage car ownership also which will be nice.
ok why dont you post facts of buildings over 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 700 etc.
Here is one for you, why is DCs population density half of Boston? why do less people live DT when compared to Boston, one would expect it would have nearly double the volume since it has the larger footprint.
On the cities mode of transpo is very similar actually
When did Boston's density surpass SF? DC is right under 10,000 ppsm. Boston is at 20,000? Hmmm.
