[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in an inside-the-beltway neighborhood of single family homes on 1/7th acre lots. Gentrification is marching our way and I'm afraid this scenario will play out in some form in my neighborhood (although the appreciation to date is nice). A few us are discussing pushing back hard if people start pushing for exemptions on their plans for additions/tear downs. [/quote] The blowback is hard on new builds inside the beltway, but that is not discouraging them. New builds are quickly outnumbering the old homes, which simply are not worth renovating. For a little more money than a makeshift add-on, you can have new, so that is what people are doing. Whether or not you like it, there is nothing you can do about it. Though I suppose if you were completely irrational, it would become quite a large chip on your shoulder. It is undoubtedly better for your health to let it go. You can try rallying with your fellow old house homeowners, but you are quickly outnumbered. [/quote]
