The ridiculous comments in this thread spurred me to take action and send an email to Chairmen Hood and Brown. Here is what I wrote in the comment:

"Allowing families with extra space to rent those spaces to more people will in the short run allow more people to experience the amazing amenities and cultural life that the best neighborhoods in DC have to offer. This will in the long run lead to more people being willing to pay the premium to live in the city, as they develop tastes for such a lifestyle. The student who lives in an accessory dwelling now is the homeowner dedicated to the city 10 years from now.

Accessory dwellings help DC compete against neighboring jurisdictions for tax dollars by opening up certain lifestyles that only DC can offer to more people. Keeping DC more suburban only shoots DC in the foot - we need to emphasize our competitive advantages, which in the long run will lead to greater viability for our beloved city. "
