[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People also forget that many of the older homes will be demolished for new builds with multiple flats, in order to maximize profit and lot coverage

I do hope that some of the beautiful older single family homes will be restored however during their conversions. [/quote]

They are already being demolished for new builds to maximize profit and lot coverage, it's just that they're single-unit new builds. Also they're not necessarily beautiful, unless you're extremely fond of generic ranch or split-level houses.[/quote]

While no one can legislate good design, I do hope the new, multi-unit builds will complement the older historic homes in massing, scale, and design. (Although most will maximize lot coverage like the current new humongous single family homes). I also hope that least some older homes will undergo thoughtful conversions. Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and Kensington have some very charming neighborhoods that I hope retain their character. [/quote]
