[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The seller wants to keep his neighborhood a wealthy enclave and free of the undesirable middle class.  I appreciate the transparency.[/quote]
It’s not middle class. It’s other wealthy people buying this stuff. They just needed the MC renters to do the developers dirty work. I don’t think a single MM project that was available for purchase is less than $1.2M[/quote]

Right. I live in Green Valley in Arlington, so maybe the least desirable Arlington neighborhood? lol. These three townhome took the spot of one SFH. And they sold for 1 million.

I believe Green Valley has been excluded from Missing Middle, but that does not mean private developers cannot buy lots and have them rezoned to townhouse zoning.   [/quote]

No neighborhoods were excluded from EHO, which is my problem with it. [/quote]

I had also heard that Green Valley and Penrose were excluded from EHO and one of the civic leaders in Halls Hill is trying to exclude that community.  I believe there were about 150 properties excluded from EHO in these areas:  Columbia Pike Special Revitalization District, the Cherrydale Revitalization Plan, and near the East Falls Church Metro.

I also have information from Arlington County saying that Missing Middle would improve homeownership opportunities for buyers but the implications was it was for "middle class" households who could not afford a $1.3M townhouse which Missing Middle will provide. That's why the name was changed from Missing Middle to Expanded Housing Opportunities.[/quote]
