You can build up to like 10 stories in DC. That's part of the plan for DC. twould take probably take an act of Congress..literally to change that.

i know but allow more density in Arlington, Montgomery PG and DC (especially in VA and DC) would go along way without having to repeal the Height Act.

TYRONE GA!
Best believe there's a long term plan for Jamaica, Queens as well in terms of gentrification. One of my boys live in St. Albans his father has been getting a lot of offers to sell his house lately. My other boy lives near Roy Wilkins his father has been getting offers for years to sell his house but recently the frequency has been up. He refuses to sell because he wants to leave the house for his sons when he dies. From late last year to where we are in this year there's been 2-3 white families that have moved into his neighborhood. Mind you this is an all-black neighborhood. It's not common to see cacs on the bus for example. My mother has a friend in Laurelton that owns 2 2 family homes that he owns that these Jews have been trying to buy it off of him for 1.7M but he says he can sell them for 2.2M When that new Starbucks popped up on the strip I knew the gentrification process was on. Beware of Starbucks in your hood brehs.​
:banderas:

Rape dem pockets.

And that's why we gotta own our shyt. at least profit off gentrification my nikkaz. don't sell for bullshyt prices!!!!! take every damn dolla.

10 stories is all you need. Even a neighborhood made up of 6 story buildings is super dense, especially if there are no parking lots

Queens
Queens is 'primed' for new Amazon fulfillment center at former Bulova facility in Woodside - QNS.com

Amazon has signed a full building lease to open its first Queens distribution center at the former Bulova watch headquarters located at 26-15 Boody St. in Woodside.

The e-commerce giant will take over an entire one-story 83,000-square-foot building Dec. 1 from landlord Terreno Realty Company, which acquired the property from Bulova last March for just over $25 million.



That's in my neighborhood. Walking distance
