[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]

Except they won’t because the only townhouses north of a million have a double garage underneath and you can’t fit 3 townhouses with double garages on the average Lyon Village lot.  BCN’s model is the SFH and they are crushing it.  [/quote]

No garages in missing middle housing.   Only a half a parking space per unit.  Under missing middle housing, a builder can construct 3 townhouses on an 8,000 sq ft lot.   You think some striver associate won’t pay $1.5 M to be on Hartford St with all the swells?  [/quote]

G*d, I hope so.  But no, I don’t think that will happen.  Missing Middle parking standards are minimums.  The market will still dictate what gets built.  You need a garage for a townhouse at that price point.  The luxury townhomes in Arlington top out at 1.3-1.4 and they are larger than what could get built on most LV lots.[/quote]
