[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Plan Lee Highway initiative would expand property rights by allowing property owners to build duplexes or small apartment buildings on their land, where now only McMansions are allowed. This is not about seizing single family homes. It's about giving more options, and allowing other types of housing to be built. Most families can't afford to own a home in Arlington unless it's a duplex or condo. [/quote]

Building owner-occupied plexes is not the primary purpose of this plan.  If that happens, those types of units will be behind the mid- and high- rise (likely rental) buildings that are so large they will require lot consolidation for both the footprint of the building and the service roads that will have to be built behind the buildings.  All of this is shown on the proposals.  The current homeowners will not be in a position equal to the developers to negotiate when this process starts.  Dittmar is not sponsoring the Lee Highway Alliance so a homeowner can build a duplex.  I’m not saying your point is wrong, but I am saying it’s tangential.  [/quote]

Oh goody, more density and affordable housing. Its good thing our high schools aren't overcrowded.[/quote]
