[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is amazing news. Property owners should be free to build as much housing on their property as they want.

If you want to ensure that you only ever live next door to single family homes then you're free to buy that property and keep them as single family homes.

I can't wait for all the NIMBY whiners who gleefully tell hard working middle class people who can't afford a SFH in a decent school district that "nobody's entitled to live in a good neighborhood" to gnash their teeth and rend their garments to realize that they're no longer entitled to prevent progress for their own benefit.

its not "progress", its a grift to people like you, so you vote Moore back in.  He really doesnt care but change will give him the national exposure, he so desperately craves. the people you want to live next door to, will just leave and go to another state like so many are doing in Maryland that backs SF zoning.   Md is a leader in negative net migration, btw.

you should read up on "white flight" and how entire neighborhoods and school districts collapsed when they left.  same will happen here but it will be economic based.  Most can sell and take their equity and buy a house case in a lower cost state.  developers will charge you an arm and a leg to build a townhome in a former SF lot, youll cheer with champagne as you have defeated the NIMBY's.

However, the sf homeowners you speak of, will sell and take their kids with them.  the schools and testing wont be as high, good teachers will leave and people left will pull out for private.  as property value decreases, the developers will add cheaper and cheaper options, then that "decent" neighborhood wont look so good to you either.  you'll then move to another state and complain about NIMBY'ers and try to repeat the cycle over again[/quote]
