[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any lawyers know if it will be possible to tie up MM in court? [/quote]

Sort of like Lyon Village’s lawsuit to block affordable housing at the church? Lyon Village lost and there is no meaningful difference in that neighborhood. Lots of hysteria for nothing. MM is the same. [/quote]

The church is on the edge of Lyon Village.   MM housing can be built on the H streets which are the most valuable in Lyon Village.   BCN can now squeeze 3 townhouses on a lot rather than on house.  Six cars instead of two and rental rather than owner occupied [/quote]

LV should be up zoned to multifamily, but expanding the number of units under current zoning is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately most of the neighborhood has already been redeveloped into McMansions so I doubt much missing middle will even be constructed. [/quote]

Everyone likes to come for this neighborhood because it’s one of the priciest in Arlington-  if not the priciest, on a square footage basis.  There is plenty of multi family housing on the R-B corridor and across Langston from LV.  There are also plenty of neighborhoods along the R-B corridor that are also SFHs. Why single out LV?  My theory is that this comment nearly always comes from renters who live in Clarendon and have no idea what kind of housing diversity Arlington actually already offers.  [/quote]

It’s the priciest because people want the benefits of density without having to share walls, but anything within .5-.75 mile of a metro station really should be zoned at least R8-18. [/quote]

There are lots of neighborhoods just as close to transit and businesses that aren’t as pricey.  Don’t get me wrong, they are all expensive, but LV isn’t “special.”  Plenty of SFH neighborhoods exist that close to transit but everyone always calls out LV.  Why?[/quote]
