The Washington Post: “The D.C. region needs to build 87 new homes per day. It’s not close.”

Five years ago, elected officials in the D.C. area concluded that at least 320,000 new housing units were needed to accommodate the region’s anticipated growth. But a recent Washington Post analysis found that the region has fallen behind the pace required to meet this demand by 2030. Restrictive zoning policies in some areas, and the pandemic, have impeded housing development in the region. — The Washington Post
