[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The concern a lot of us have is that Arlington will not apply a new zoning law equally. Face it, this will lower the property values on the street with new MM housing. Arlington tends to do anything that lowers property values only to certain areas-meaning south Arlington. 22204 gets the brunt of affordable housing and schools zoned for mostly affordable housing, all of which keep 22204 much cheaper then the rest of Arlington. We all know that the leafy north Arlington neighborhoods that can hold this kind of additional density will keep developers out. When they complain the county listens. When they scream their schools are over crowded they get new schools. [/quote]

Concentrated low income housing affects school scores and property values. That’s what is happening in the western past of 22204. MM housing is not low income housing.

I’d rather the county allow smaller lots and build three small SFHs than build a triplex, but I’m guessing north Arlington would object to that too. [/quote]
