Where are you looking that you think a small apartment building would change the character of a neighborhood?

It would change that character of many neighborhoods, create overcrowding and bring crime.

Small apartment buildings cause crime?

If they’re luxury apartments, no. If they’re Section 8, yes.

And I say this as someone who grew up in Section 8 housing. The truth hurts, but I’m not going to lie to myself.

Do we need more missing middle and workforce housing, yes. Put it on the busy corridors (River Road, Old Georgetown Road, Wisconsin Ave, Connecticut Ave, Georgia Ave amd New Hampshire Ave) and near the metro, instead of building million dollar townhouses and luxury condos there. Apartment buildings have no place in the suburbs

There are currently many apartment buildings in the suburbs.
