"Yglesias says that through policies that discourage additional housing units from being built in urban cores, we've given families little other choice but to turn their backs on urban cores in search of cheap housing."

I don't see the historic preservation laws prohibiting anyone from building in the Logan Circle district. What laws is he talking about? If there's money to be made building apartments, someone's going to make it, regardles of historic status...just look around. There's an incredible amount of underused land around and close to the core that hasn't been developed becasue of high crime rates and a lack of reliable public transit. Has Matt ever strayed into NE? Maybe if we worked on crime and transit there would be more areas that developers would like to build before we destroy our skyline for some starchitects idea of a masterpiece.
