[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]

The “expand property rights” canard fails to account for the fact that the next step is not to change zoning laws to favor multifamily over single family (look to everyone’s favorite example of Portland where they have limited the size of single family homes while allowing multi family to build bigger.

The county would also have the power to jack up the assessed value of your land since a parcel zoned for multifamily is probably worth more. [/quote]
