[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s disingenuous?

It is true that the pro-SFH folks are the ones who want the government to impose strict controls on what private citizens can do with their own land. They are the ones who want to force their will on their neighbors.[/quote]

I understand the pro-density crowd's wish to frame it as though there were no ex ante condition that influenced current residents in their past choices about where they might live and invest time with a neighborhood/community.  But that is not the case.[/quote]

It’s also just a terrible argument because the government controls what you do with your property in so many ways. [/quote]

But the point is that the pro-SFH zoning folks are the ones who are advocating [/i]for[i] strict government control over what people do with their property. It is they, not the pro-density folks, who are seeking to impose their will on others here.

The YIMBYs pretend like  negative externalities don’t exist when it does not support their cult agenda. Noise pollution negatively impacts neighbors property rights, as does excess traffic, flooding from impervious surfaces, ect.    The use of nearby properties absolutely impacts neighbor’s property rights. Don’t pretend like everything exists in a vacuum and ignore the very real deficiencies in the current development standards for Arlington county. [/quote]

Ha. I had a feeling the “negative externalities” argument would come into play. By that logic, your house should never have been built because it contributes to precisely the same negative impacts on neighboring properties that you cite here.
