WMATA is funded...but past this year, future funding remains a difficult issue for the DMVMoves task force. Part 2 in a series on re-legalizing starter homes: North Carolina & Oregon show how smaller housing footprints equal reduced costs. Mike Austin earned our endorsement for the DC Ward 8 special election. Melanie Pincus, our new associate editor, is a walkability fan hailing from Northern Virginia. Some events coming up on the community calendar. GGWash Junctions #6 is here.

Making it easier to build more, smaller houses would bring down home prices and help bring back the starter home. Part 2 in a series shows how three cities in North Carolina and Oregon have done just that.

Endorsements • July 2, 2025
Austin impressed us with his exceptional grasp of the policy levers that can increase housing supply, appropriate opposition to the use of public funds for a private stadium, and support for bus priority and bike lanes.
