[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe people fought a duplex. https://www.arlnow.com/2023/09/06/some-neighbors-fought-a-duplex-and-won-as-county-approves-more-missing-middle-homes/

I live in an adjoining neighborhood and would welcome a 4-flat or a duplex in my neighborhood. After college I lived in a neighborhood with a mix of SFH, duplexes, and 4-6 flat building with parking in the rear. It had a similar density to central Arlington, plenty of mature trees, and was walking distance to a Westover-like small shopping area. It was a great, vibrant neighborhood with renters and owners, young adults and families.

Here’s a map pin to my old neighborhood for street view purposes

Nice to see restrictive covenants once again keeping out undesirables. The residents' hood wearing grandparents would be proud [/quote]

The hood wearers are currently living in Arlington. Why else  is there an apartheid wall at 17th St that divides a black neighborhood from a white neighborhood.  Arlington’s black population is now at a low of 9% and will continue as Black neighborhoods are gentrified with EHO housing and other development.

Arlington pushed aside Plan  Langston Blvd that would have added 1500 needed affordable housing units in favor of EHO housing that will be fir affluent renters and owners.  [/quote]
