[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s disingenuous?

It is true that the pro-SFH folks are the ones who want the government to impose strict controls on what private citizens can do with their own land. They are the ones who want to force their will on their neighbors.[/quote]

I understand the pro-density crowd's wish to frame it as though there were no ex ante condition that influenced current residents in their past choices about where they might live and invest time with a neighborhood/community.  But that is not the case.[/quote]

If these current residents want the neighborhood to remain just as it is, then it will. Zoning changes won’t force them to do anything different.

+1. Put your money where your mouth is.

Meanwhile I took another visit to Arlington today and yep, the SFH I saw are all tatty and sad, but the townhouse and smaller apartment building blocks were quite nice. [/quote]

Where were you in Arlington?   Halls Hill, Green Valley, or Johnson's Hill where the SFH that black people built after WWII that are being replaced by townhouses but apartment buildings built in the 1940s and 1950s remain
Arlington Forest, Madison Manor, Dominion  Hills?   More affordable single family areas where many houses have been expanded but mostly well maintained?

Where did you see such tattiness? [/quote]
