[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm late to the game paying attention to this Missing Middle proposal - how are things looking they'll shape up at this point?

We have a string of 15,000sf lots nearby (funny how 15,000sf sounds so much bigger than 1/3 acre) and I can't imagine a builder throwing up a poorly built 8-plex, adding 10+ cars to the street parking, and calling it a day.

I buy the argument you can increase density without ruining neighborhoods by allowing by-right duplex, and maybe even triplex, construction but allowing 6+ unit housing in any neighborhood? That seems extreme.[/quote]

It's not extreme, it's necessary.  Under the plan, each unit would be allowed a half a car. So an 8-plex would only add 4 cars to street parking and some of the parking could be on site.   Don't tell me neighborhood, but tell me the Arlington zip code where you "have a string of 15,000 sf lots."  If you do, you are sitting on a big increase in the value of your property.  15,000 sf lots in Arlington are rare -- [/quote]
