+1.  We just went through this is our DC neighborhood--a few outspoken neighbors blocked new development, saying a mid-sized apt. bldg was "out of character" would increase traffic etc.  It got nixed after dragging out for several years.[/quote]

The kinda liberal NIMBYs the article is describing are all over this region. They say they love diversity but block any low income housing development cause they worry it will mess up their value and kids school ratings. And preach they're for diversity but live in the whitest neighborhood and call the cops on black neighbors  moving in their neighborhood thinking that they're robbing someone (no joke, I've seen this happen to someone)[/quote]

PP.  This is actually an ethnically diverse, majority minority neighborhood, although still fairly affluent (SFHs start around 900K+).  But agree there is often a racial tinge to these discussions re: affordable housing.[/quote]
