[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are alll these little SFH on decent size lots. Will they all get torn down like Bethesda?

Do you think DC will do anything to prevent mcmansions from getting built? It seems like the current mayor is very pro-construction.

Most of Bethesda has not been torn down and re-built.  [/quote]

Have you been to Edgemoor recently? Very few houses left that were from the original stock build a century ago. It is just a mcmansion hellscape now.[/quote]

That's totally untrue. I walk through Edgemoor several times a week after dropping my kids at school. I live in a different Bethesda neighborhood but Edgemoor is lovely so I like to walk there. Most of the houses are expanded originals, built between approximately 1925 and 1945. Yes, there are McMansions. But it's hardly most. Maybe 20% at most, which is similar to other areas I walk in (Battery Park, East Bethesda, whatever the neighborhood is behind Beth El). A little higher than the area around Leland Park perhaps. There are also a ton of enormous houses in Edgemoor that are original or, if not original, at least pretty old, like from the 1950s or 1960s. They are generally set further back than the McMansions on much bigger lots and are gracefully proportioned.[/quote]
