[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does not need to be decided at the state level.  At the local level, changes go before the communities involved.  Sometimes there are good reasons that people may have.  [/quote]

Yeah, but there aren't good reasons in this case.[/quote]

The possible lack of adequate infrastructure is a very good reason to oppose rezoning.[/quote]

I like to think the best of people, but it's difficult to believe that opposition to duplexes by right, from people who live in the one-unit detached houses they own, is based on sincere concern that the neighborhood might not have adequate sewer capacity.[/quote]

You really don’t realize the concept of infrastructure encompasses more than sewers?  Thankfully the legislators do. [/quote]

Sewers were what was mentioned. If there are other "infrastructure" concerns about duplexes by right, please explain.

Keeping in mind that "How will it affect my ability to store my car on the public street?" is not an infrastructure concern.[/quote]

People obviously have schools in mind.  At least if they are in VA or have kids or plan to have them.
