[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they do that, then it looks like they are exempting the best off areas and foisting up zoning on everyone else [/quote]

Why not let civic associations vote on whether they want to upzone their neighborhood? or put it on the ballot for all of Arlington to vote on at the very least?

I imagine the people living in the neighborhoods that will be most affected are more than 50% opposed - and if that's the case maybe the board isn't making a compelling case for why this benefits their constituents. And if [i]that's[/i] the case it seems odd to me that you're going to go against the wishes of current Arlingtonians to benefit potential future Arlingtonians who don't live here now.[/quote]

I think a lot of people supporting MM are already in Arlington—they just aren’t home owners yet.  They are renters who want to buy.[/quote]

Nobody I have encountered in a SFH in my home near Metro is in favor of this.  And, the County has screwed us over time and time again.

Right now due to their lax enforcement we have SFH the height and size of apartment buildings on miniscule lots which has created a serious water table issue.

They are so in the builders' pockets its repulsive.  And, yes, the people that want this don't actually own a home in any of these neighborhoods.

They use the vast number of renters along the RBC and S.Arl to drive up the survey numbers in the direction they want.  F@)k the homeowners is the 'Arlington Way' now.[/quote]

Bingo.    The renters revolt[/quote]
