[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please check your deeds. A lot of NW blocks have some sort of historic covenant. Some are racist, some are not; the racist portions are regrettable and unenforceable. However, the covenants stay with the land. If you have that, meaning your neighbors do (too), you are protected from all these shenanigans.

In fact, these historic covenants are the only way some Arlington neighborhoods were able to prevent high or gentle density on their street.

If these zoning changes come to pass as our Council has indicated, I think those of us with the benefit of these covenants will be sitting on some of the most expensive real estate in the region. If you’re not benefiting from these, you might still laugh all the way to the bank by being the first to sell to the builder but then it’s the race to the bottom for the rest of the block.

So, I was going to say, please recall Allen and Nadeau who want to do this, don’t vote for Frumin again etc. but actually I stand to make a lot of money, so as you were.

Lighten up, Francis. There are no such proposals, which would need to go to ANCs and the Zoning Commission, before going to the Council.[/quote]

Can you explain the difference between a historical convenent and changing zoning? Covenented land is exempted? I can only think of parts of CP near us that are historically zoned. Isn't the rest a free for all of the Council changes the zoning permissions? Is there semi -covenanted land they can't touch? Pls clarify - helpful.[/quote]
