[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the extent upzoning of SFH neighborhoods happens, everything that is built there should have to be at least 3 bedrooms and about 1,500 square feet. Otherwise, it is just making the current situation worse for anyone looking for at least a 3 bedroom home. Keeping things as they are would be better for anyone trying to buy than having 1 or 2 bedroom units on these lots. Better to have fewer new units built that actually do something about the purported problem. And yeah, I know many don’t see a problem.

There is no shortage of 1 and 2 bedroom condos. In inflation adjusted terms, condos in Silver Spring sell for less now than 10 years ago. They are barely more in non-inflation adjusted terms.[/quote]

They could just incentivize and subsidize the construction of 3-4 bedroom multi unit housing in properly zoned areas rather than proceed with this wacky upzoning scheme.[/quote]

We don't have the infrastructure in terms of roads, schools, etc. to have more multi-unit housing.  Schools are overcrowded and over capacity.  When is enough enough?  There are tons of vacant apartments as they are expensive.[/quote]
