[quote=Anonymous]Virginia Residents beware there is an unhinged proposal by one of our state legislative reps (David Reid, district 28 in Loudoun County) to override local zoning and allow high density trailer parks by-right throughout Virginia anywhere that has access to public sewer. If this bill passes your neighborhood will open season for developers to build trailer parks up to 8.7 units per acre. There is another state representative (Shelly Simonds, District 70) that wants to eliminate parking minimums statewide to “let the market decide” whether the elderly, disabled, and parents with small children should have equal access to housing. Eliminating parking minimums everywhere is basically discrimination against people with mobility issues as it effectively them from being able to live in the housing development. I have an infant and this would be disastrous for new parents. People need to fight tooth and nail to kills these bills. Call your state senators and tell them you are against this nonsense. It does not stop with this bill, the development lobby uses a piecemeal approach to gradually pass bills in each state that overtime will eliminate zoning altogether. This year they will require 8.7 units per acre, next year they will eliminate single family zoning and require quadplex zoning by right, which increases the minimum density everywhere to 34.8 units per acre. The year after that they will override local control by allowing churches to ignore zoning rules for low income housing and allow halfway houses by-right in residential neighborhoods. The end result is that your quaint single family neighborhood  neighborhood will be ruined by a developer that buys your neighbors house to build a 34 unit drug rehab center. Good luck Virginia, I hope everyone is looking forward to high density trailer parks with no parking and drug rehab centers next to their house   :(. It will provide easy access and more customers for the new Tysons Corner Casino that Scott Surovell wants to force Fairfax County to approve. [/quote]
