D.C. developers weigh in on Janeese Lewis-George's housing promises

Mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George campaigned on protecting tenants while getting more homes built in D.C. — 72,000 in five years. Developers say she has her work cut out for her. Why it matters: D.C.'s development market has slowed dramatically amid federal job losses, unpaid rent, regulatory hurdles and high financing costs. What they're saying: Developers welcome JLG 's promise of higher-density development and expedited permitting, but say those changes alone won't be enough to fix the current market. "There needs to be a full-on PR campaign in D.C. to change the stigma around investing [here]," says Ian Ruel of commercial real estate group Feldman Ruel. Ruel says D.C.'s tenant-friendly policies have instead driven developers toward places like NoVA, which some see as "more pro-business" with "more perceived growth." Instead, several experts Axios spoke with want JLG to address the same thing right off the bat: unpaid rent. "It's fundamental, because without those rent revenues, buildings can't really operate," says Peter A. Tatian, an Urban Institute housing expert. "It's putting a lot of the housing at risk." Tatian also says stabilizing and preserving existing affordable housing should be prioritized before focusing on new builds. Reality check: Developers praised Lewis George's housing

Westfield malls implement restrictions on teen autonomy

For many WCHS students, the Westfield Montgomery Mall has served as a place to shop, eat and spend time with friends. However, on Sept. 28, the Westfield Corporation implemented a new policy limiting teens after 3 PM at Westfield Montgomery and Westfield Wheaton. While the policy aims to increase the safety for shoppers, it has also raised questions about teen independence and its potential impacts on mall businesses. The official mall policy states that minors are barred from entering the mall after 3 PM unless they are with an adult. Supervising adults may also be asked to provide a valid form of identification, and can only accompany 4 minors at a time.

Washington-area home sales plunge nearly 20% as buyers retreat

The D.C. area's home sales took a nosedive last month, according to a new report from real estate group Bright MLS . The big picture: It's more evidence that area buyers and sellers are staying on the sidelines as rates remain high and economic uncertainty prevails. By the numbers: The number of closed home sales across the Washington region dropped 19.2% in October compared to a year ago, per Bright data. New purchase contracts declined 20.4%. Showings were down 15.2%. Seller activity also slowed, with new listings dropping 6.1%. Meanwhile, active listings jumped 22.1% as buyers continued to watch and wait. And while the median sale price remained relatively stable — $625,000 — it did drop 0.8%, marking the first year-over-year decline in over three years. What they're saying: "Buyers are holding back this fall with rates above 7%," said Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant in a release. "Higher-income buyers and cash buyers are still in the market, but it has gotten very difficult for first-time and moderate-income buyers." Yes, but: While buyer activity dropped across all of Washington's jurisdictions, D.C.'s median sale price still saw an increase (3.6%), along with several other markets including Fairfax city (6.2%) and
