We recently joined forces with Greater Greater Washington and PoPville to launch Let’s Choose D.C., a website dedicated to exploring the candidates vying for the At-Large D.C. Council seat in the April 23 special election and their stances on the issues. Every week we’ll pose a question to the candidates, post their responses and allow readers to judge whether they were on point or evasive.

With more news about how quickly D.C. is growing, we decided to ask the candidates how the would manage the influx of new residents:

Mayor Gray has set a goal of growing by 250,000 residents in 20 years. Previous mayors had similar goals. GMU studies suggest we need over 122,000 new housing units (each of which might hold multiple people) by 2030. How can and should the District accommodate this growth?

Paul Zukerberg, Matthew Frumin, Elissa Silverman, and John Settles provided responses, and Perry Redd this morning promised to get one to us tonight. We did not receive responses from Anita Bonds, Michael Brown, or Patrick Mara. All of the other candidates have withdrawn from the race or did not file their petitions with the requisite number of signatures.

See the past responses on schools, crime and what D.C. should look like 20 years from now.
