It's 2 blocks from the ART bus, which can then take someone 1 mile to Ballston metro. There are other bus lines on Glebe, but I think ART to Metro is the most likely scenario.
And a grocery store? Coffee shop? You can pretend to justify it however you'd like, but every adult living in that building is going to have a car and drive.
Your initial comment was that this lot isn't convenient to transit. It's actually very convenient for someone commuting to the Ballston Metro. I was replying to what you wrote, not the secret gripes you had in your head.
Yeah, that secret need for food. I totally made up that people who live in apartments need to eat, as well as commute to work.
It's a stupid location for a 6 unit building. Density should be near transit hubs and amenities not in the middle of neighborhoods.
Well if nobody wants to live in these locations because they are "stupid," then you don't have to worry. Sounds like you have it all figured out!
It's not clear that these are selling. MM has cooled substantially. But at least some folks will be the unlucky neighbors who will have to live next to an apartment building crammed onto a lot sized for a SFH.
The “community workers” (teachers, police, nurses, etc) don’t want these crummy apartments or stacked townhouse — those have been options for decades. They want SFH just like almost everyone else.
This just crams in 20 something dinks or group houses into SFH — hope you like the wafting smell of pot and malt liquor in the morning.
People like you infuriate me because this is the kind of talk that makes the MM opponents look crazy. I think the plan that was passed was too extreme but I was embarrassed by comments like yours during all the public comment periods.
What exactly is “crazy” about my post? Teachers and nurses have families too; and they want to raise them with a regular home not be the “weird neighbors” living in the lone condo next to the park? Yes, young teachers live in apartments, condos, and townhomes, but they all move to Fairfax when they have families— hence why our calendar follows FCPS. We should do like Universities and purchase homes for teachers to “buy” , earn modest appreciation, and sell to future teachers. But not feasible I know.
We lived next to a group home in a townhouse; weekend parties are a standard, with drinking and usually some guests smoking out back. Granted I was being poetic in my “napalm in the morning” phrasing, but noise, debris, and limited parking is standard outcomes from group housing in suburban homes.
