Making the Greater DC Area Even Greater
 Some see a blog as merely an online journal. But for blogger David Alpert, Greater Greater Washington has become a platform for voicing the need for change in policies that affect the quality of life in the DC area.
David has played an instrumental role in getting a number of these changes implemented. His efforts to make the Metro DC area greater include helping eliminate parking minimums in developments and putting a tax on plastic bags that pollute the Anacostia River.
We were lucky enough to sit down with David and talk to him about improving DC housing, the city's walkable neighborhoods and more.

What Landlords Are Saying
"It was so great to work with Urban Igloo since they actively helped me fill my condo in Ballston quickly. They really know the market and how to make things happen fast. In fact, I had a signed lease within two weeks of contacting them! They also made the process really easy since they showed my condo and took care of the background and credit checks. All I had to do was sign the lease!"

What Renters Are Saying
"Let me first say that my experience with Urban Igloo and my leasing agent has been painless, efficient and enjoyable. I simply called Urban Igloo and left a message inquiring about help for finding a place to live and my leasing agent returned my call before the day was out. What really made the experience wonderful was that he paid attention to my needs and wants, so our time together was not wasted. Urban Igloo representatives are really familiar with specified areas of interest and locations which is very helpful when you are moving into an area you don't know. Being a very busy executive myself and not having a lot of time to waste, Urban Igloo not only meet my needs for finding a fabulous place but they also were able to meet my move date requirement. I will be referring everyone I know to utilize the services of Urban Igloo. Thanks for all of your help."
