[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think people complaining about large houses realize it's either that or duplexes to come and in case of larger lots, multiple units! Pick your poison. [/quote]

I live across the country on an area that has changed all of its SFH zoning to match the MM situation in Arlington. When the market was strong pre-pandemic, it was all giant houses that got put in. Now it is all 6-8plexes because the spec houses aren’t paying off in the current market. Both are bad options- the lot line to lot line mega houses attract transient people trying to claim a starter house in our neighborhood and/or people who don’t care about a specific neighborhood or aesthetics.

The downside about the 6-8plexes is that most young professionals and families don’t want to live in them. They prefer townhouse complexes or fancy, larger apartment complexes. So the multiplexes in our otherwise SFH neighborhood attract students on a budget. I actually don’t mind them because they bring some life to the neighborhood, but they’re not the types to make maintenance demands of their landlords and the landlords are usually investment groups in other states anyway. The multiplexes quickly fall into disrepair and have long grass, dead bushes and trees, dangling gutters and mossy roofs. [/quote]

Where is this? Example listings?

A 6 plex was approved here: 735 N. George Mason Drive

This street is already notoriously busy and lacks parking. [/quote]
