DC is growing fast. You can be a part of shaping its future.
DC 2050 is the District’s next comprehensive plan, which determines where housing, jobs, and amenities should be located across the District. The DC Office of Planning is working on a full rewrite of the comprehensive plan based on technical research, best practices, and the community’s vision for DC’s future.
Do you struggle to find housing that meets your needs or your budget?
Do you want to see new businesses and economic activity in your neighborhood?
Are you concerned about the impact of new development?
Do you want to know more about how DC is changing and be a part of shaping that change?
DC 2050 is where these priorities are captured and turned into policies. This is the first full rewrite of DC’s comprehensive plan in over 20 years and your opportunity to share your priorities for how we grow for the next 25 years and beyond. No matter where you live in DC, if you rent or own, grew up here or came as an adult, your voice matters. Follow this project and get involved.
When we kicked off this planning process in 2025, we committed to gathering feedback from DC residents, community organizations, and elected officials. From March 2025 to June 2026, we’ve reached over 6,600 people across all eight wards. We’ve also received thousands of comments across multiple online surveys.
If you have engaged with us, filled out our survey, or come to an event, thank you! We read every comment we receive and are working to incorporate the feedback into the draft plan.
We encourage you to share your input on DC’s future. There are lots of ways to stay up to date and get involved:
Sign up for the DC 2050 email list to get an alert when new events and requests for input are announced.
Attend an event, like our informal office hours at Tenley-Friendship Library on September 24, 3:30-5 pm.
Check out DC2050.com to learn more about the project.

“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if this is a common experience but my management company sent me a bill for $1. I moved out last month. Mostly pissed, slightly amused at the pettiness. Is this something anyone else has encountered?”

“Dear PoPville,
I think I had an encounter (Thursday) with “coffee guy,” the one who approaches women pretending to be from somewhere else, asks about coffee places, then tries to pressure you into a coffee date.
I was leaving my office and he approached me at the intersection of 10th and G NW. He asked me where Tatte was, because I “look like the kind of person with the swagger to go there.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
In Brookland this has been our view for the past week now, it’s getting absurd. Car owner leaves for hours on end with this spot saver in place. And spot saver has only grown over time, more items have been added over time. Started off with just one red block.”

“Dear PoPville,
The parking wars have gotten out of hand! Last night I saw a woman essentially reburying a car in the snow (in Bloomingdale.) And this wasn’t just simply kicking some snow under the tires then driving away. She used a shovel. And when she was done with the shovel, she started moving large blocks of ice with her hands and wedging them under the car. I don’t need to tell anyone here how disgusting the snow and ice is these days to be picking up with your hands. And this was no quick act. This went on for almost half an hour! All the while her car sitting in the street with its hazard lights on. (more…)
