[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo is already a oretty dense, urbanized county (at least inside the beltway which seems to be where any new apartment buildings would be).

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

It would change that character of many neighborhoods, create overcrowding and bring crime. [/quote]

Small apartment buildings cause crime?[/quote]

Low income residents are more likely to commit crime. A resident of a household in the bottom 20% of the income distribution is 6.8x as likely to commit a violent crime as a resident in the top 20% of the income distribution. It only a change in the income composition of a neighborhood to substantially increase the crime rate.  Example, the current neighborhood income composition is 50% Qunitile5, 40% and Quintile 4, 10% quintile 3. The average violent crime rate for adolescents would be in 2.8 incidents per 1,000 people. If the neighborhood changes to 40% Q5, 40% Q4, 10% Q3, 5% Q2, 5% Q1, the average violent crime rate would increase to 3.53 incidents per 1, people. So the violent crime rate per 1,000 people would increase by 26% from a small change in the income composition.[/quote]
