Have you ever matched with someone on Hinge who was from Lanier Heights and wondered, where the heck is that? Is that in Ward 4?
Sorry, it's actually in Ward 1 and there's quite a bit of housing history to get real mad about! That's why the D.C. YIMBYs want to take you on this walking tour so we can learn from the past and build a more inclusive District of Columbia for the future.
This walking tour will feature:
- Downzoning to preserve the "character of the neighborhood"
- An overview of how the lack of housing led to Lanier Heights losing its economic and racial diversity over the decades
- Too much land taken up by street parking
So please, RSVP and come join us on Sunday, April 19 to learn more about Lanier Heights.
