[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't like is that all new builds are McMansions or multifamily units.  You don't see[b] starter homes [/b]being built any longer and that sucks.[/quote]

I see lots of condos being built[/quote]

Condos are multifamily homes which I addressed.  Starter homes that are HOUSES are no longer built.  The best you can find are some from the 80's and most in this region seem to be from the 40's-70's.  You can't buy a new small SFH.[/quote]

You're right.  So many developers are buying up older, smaller SFHs that a lot of families would love to live in and then tear them down/replace them with giant mansions for the wealthy.  Sure, families can buy starter condos, but when so many people aren't buying until their mid-30s, a condo doesn't seem as attractive.  Not to mention, a lot of people still want the ability to buy a small detached home, but are getting pushed farther out to do so.  What happens is you end up with a bunch of rich people, renters, and manadated affordable housing in places like N. Arlington.  Regular middle class families just aren't buying there anymore and I see other areas in N. Virginia going in that same direction.[/quote]
