Might as well start getting used to it.[/quote] You’re one of those people that hate Haussmann’s renovation of Paris.[/quote] Paris is lovely! It's one of the densest, most livable cities in the world. It's actually the ubiquity of mid-rise multifamily buildings, with ground-floor retail and restaurants, throughout the city that makes it so livable. We should try it! [/quote] So would all the poor people in this scenario live in high rises in Prince William County? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/02/how-the-rise-of-american-style-segregation-is-feeding-division-in-europe/[/quote] That’s the goal.[/quote] No, we should build homes for them as part of mixed-income neighborhoods.[/quote] Ok, so not like Paris then. Seems like you should be requesting that the county board mandate that 1/3 of all new missing middle units be permanently affordable if you want your vision to be a reality. [/quote]
