Residents of Brookland Manor, a largely low-income apartment complex in Northeast, are suing their owner over redevelopment plans they fear could displace them. The conflict sheds light on a bigger problem in D.C.: the lack of affordable rental housing that’s appropriately sized for big families. A study by the Urban Institute last year found that four- and five-bedroom units make up just 8 and 4 percent of available rental housing in the District.
