Reply to comment by giscard78 in What are these homes called and why aren’t they being built anymore? by rdervgyb2345

Kind of disagree. A lot of housing in DC isn’t that walkable (like it takes 15 minutes or more to walk somewhere worthwhile) so people hop in their car or an Uber anyways. EOTR is less than 10 minute drive from the yards, barracks row, a handful if restaurants in historic anacostia, and two grocery stores in skyland.

You're assuming that people in EOTR have cars or money for ubers. It's a 10min drive to those places but a 30-40min bus ride

People here have cars, bro. Traffic is a nightmare.

If you're on Reddit and looking to buy a house in DC in 2023 you've got money for cars or ubers.

Yes, it's absolutely an issue for many current and longtime residents over here, but for the purposes of this particular discussion I think it's a pretty fair assumption that an occasional Uber to the bar is not a big deal.

I get what you're saying but dude said housing not houses and there's alot of low income people EOTR that live in apartments. Thats what I meant, not the people buying houses and already going to trendy bars
