[quote]Also, why do we have the Mall? Do we really need it? Do you know how many duplexes could fit there? [/quote]

Actually high density works well with open space - see Central Park in NYC.

[quote]Also, the Capitol. Tear it down. Too big. No one even lives there! We could fit so many duplexes there. [/quote]

Its an office building, in effect.   Relatively dense one I guess.   Lots of people work there.  Maybe you should oppose it - it brings too much traffic and makes it harder to find parking!

[quote]Same with all these museums. Can't people just Google things they want to know or see?[/quote]

We love walkable activity centers.  Shouldn't you want every other museum on the mall torn down, to create parking lots for the ones that remain?

[quote]Come to think of it, you know what fits more people than expensive duplexes? Expensive triplexes.

Tear down all the duplexes. Put up triplexes. [/quote]

I generall do support changes to zoning to allow triplexes (and quadruplexes too!) Note, saying "allow X as well as Y" does not mean "all Y must be torn down".   Now do we need a statewide law in Va to change duplex only zoning?  I don't think there is much duplex only zoning in Va. [/quote]
