[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How close is your home to a commercial corridor and what is current density like?

I'm sympathetic but I've also seen people throw fits about developments like this when they live a block from commercial corridors and there are multiple multi-family buildings on their block. It's one thing if something like this goes into a purely residential neighborhood with nothing but SFHs -- I can see why you'd have the expectation of consistent zoning in that situation.

But if you buy close to commercial areas where multi-family buildings are common, it's not reasonable to expect the density of your block to stay the same as the commercial district drives up demand for density. It's the flip side of living in walkable areas convenient to lots of amenities, including public transportation.[b] If you want a suburban, SFH feel, don't buy in these areas![/b][/quote]

WRONG! Again another non-Arlingtonian mouthing off about something they don't understand. We live in a part of Arlington this is single family homes, wide roads, very little retail/restaurants and near McLean border.  Missing Middle program now means that my 86 yo neighbor living in the original home in this neighborhood can pass away and relatives will sell to a develiper who can put in a 6 plex next door.[/quote]
