[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could easily have mixed density — some tall condo buildings and some townhomes at FH. It’s a big site, and the townhomes would help the transition from the corridor to the neighborhood. I do not favor getting rid of SFH zoning.[/quote] Given the underlying value of the land, the townhouses would need to start at 2 million or more. There is zero chance that it is economically feasible to developed "affordable" townhouses in the areas that are being redeveloped. It is really a pointless discussion. Now, if you wanted to do away with single family zoning, then many of the existing houses could be razed for duplexes or rows of townhouses, if parcels were combined and redivided, but that isn't what you are looking for, now, is it?[/quote] What is not affordable for the useless commercial properties along and nearby Wisc Avenue, but apparently affordable in the SFH areas a few blocks away?
