Well, the MM proponents were happy to have it misunderstood as "affordable housing" but plenty of people said it wouldn't be.

Looking at street view for that house/street, it actually seems like the kind of area where townhomes or a 4/6-plex would make sense. Very old, run down houses just off Route 7, behind a Taco Bell. Not a great location for a $2M house.

Literally no one said it was going to be affordable housing.[/quote]

Depends on how you define affordable but Claremont has some of the more affordable single family homes in Arlington.  They are applying for a semi-detached so 2 dwellings on that lot - it probably ends up being about the size of a McMansion but I would be shocked if they get more than 1 million for each unit. New build single family homes there barely crack 1 million.  Maybe 800 - 900K each for what probably ends up being a pretty nice townhouse? 2 families get a place to live that is significantly better priced than a townhouse elsewhere in town.  Seems like a win win.[/quote]
