Historic preservation is not the bogeyman for finding cheap apartments in DC

Image
Today's Post has an article, "The new housing market: Why it’s so hard to find a cheap apartment in Washington, D.C.," with this line about strategies for producing more and lower cost housing : In D.C., you could even ditch the large historic districts that make it extremely difficult to build anything substantial in many desirable neighborhoods. Too bad it's wrong.  (The article doesn't say all that much considering.) The reason that it's hard to find cheap apartments in DC, is that relative to demand, there is lack of inventory. But it's not because of historic districcts. It's because historically, DC had been a small city relatively speaking, and not an industrial city, which would have led to the construction of more and higher capacity apartment buildings and tenements. Instead, especially in the late 1800s and into the early part of the 1900s, mostly single family housing (rowhouses) was constructed in those inner city neighborhoods th...

Part of Henry VIII's Birthplace Discovered | Smart News

Workers at London’s Old Royal Naval College were prepping the site of a new visitors center for the Painted Hall, considered the Sistine Chapel of England, when they unearthed something equally incredible: two rooms from the Palace of Placentia, reports Giles Broadbent  at  The Wharf. Built in 1433, and later known as Greenwich Palace, the palace is the birthplace of King Henry VIII and his daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I, and was considered one of the most luxurious of the Tudor-era palaces. It’s believed that the two rooms were in the palace’s service quarters, housing things like breweries, kitchens, bakeries and laundry facilities. One of the subterranean rooms includes what researchers believe are “bee boles” or niches in the walls where skeps—early versions of commercial beehives—were kept. The find is unusual because most bee boles were outdoors, built into exterior walls, but the researchers believe the palace may have used the indoor niches to protect hibernating bees in ...
