[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the plan is to build affordable housing in Great Falls and Chevy Chase Village? Ha ha![/quote] Housing affordable for the middle class, yes. Duplexes are part of the "missing middle" in the housing supply. https://missingmiddlehousing.com/about[/quote] The “missing middle” is another nonthreatening-sounding term for “gentle density.” It means profound change for quiet single family residential side streets and big profits for real estate speculators and developers. No wonder they have generously backed the mayor.[/quote] How, exactly, would having a few duplexes on my block mean “profound change” for me or my neighbors? Oh no, there might be eight people living happily and quietly in space that currently houses four! Disaster![/quote]
