[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does “eliminate single family zoning” mean and look like? Genuinely curious. [/quote]

The end of single family zoning is exactly that. Progressives feel that people should not own land that could be used for high density housing and will rezone or never designate areas for sfh again.

Single family homes are the new disease plaguing society. It’s all the rage, just ask MoCo county council member Will Jawando.

If your dream is to have a home with a backyard and picket fence In particular near public transportation, forget it. The Dear leaders are busy at work telling us all how And where we All need to live. [/quote]

It's actually an incredibly Libertarian policy that progressives realize is one of their few good ideas.

Eliminating single family zoning does not in any way mean you can't own a single family home with a picket fence and a backyard. It simply means that if you own land you can legally build a duplex, set of rowhouses, or apartment building on that land provided it fits on your property within reasonable setbacks, which is currently illegal in huge areas of DC.  If you want to keep your land as a single family home, you can certainly do that.

I would have thought this was incredibly obvious, but of course NIMBYs and regressives will find any excuse, no matter how tenuous or simply false, to feel persecuted.[/quote]
