Zoning in the Nation's Capital

Robert C. Weinberg discusses the many diversions between Washington and New York. For example, Washington has many more residential houses than New York, but from an architectural point of view, there is little unity of style, size or shape (except for Alexandria and Georgetown) the capital is poorly planned or zoned. The suburbs form an uncontrolled mess, but there is much concern by press and citizens.
