[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So begins the decline of Arlington. More people will choose McLean or Bethesda once they see how neighborhoods get transformed by this stupidity. [/quote]

I don’t think this will happen.  I think people will continue to want Arlington for their commutes, or being near amenities, etc.  Many of us may go private (like our family).  But Arlington is still going to be desirable.[/quote]

For many people, the dream of owning a SFH is about being on a quiet, peaceful street relatively free of density, not one clogged with cars and people. If people want density, they choose a townhouse or condo. Make no mistake, many people's property values will be negatively impacted.

It's like when you're considering buying a house, but the one next door has all the hallmarks of being inhabited by a hoarder (stuff all over the lawn and backyard, poorly cared for) -- you take a pass and wait for something better to come along. No different here. [/quote]

Anyone who bought a SFH in Arlington for a quiet, peaceful street free from density was delusional. I bought a SFH here (N Arlington) in 2018 and have always known that the county wanted more density. The density is part of what gets us all the amenities around here. If you want quiet and no cars/people on the streets, move outside the beltway. [/quote]
