[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Missing Middle is the ultimate pro-developer policy. I wasn't aware that wanting to line the pockets of developers was a policy stance of Democrats?[/quote]

How is missing middle more pro-developer than current policy? Isn’t the ability to tear down an old home and construct a mcmansion also pro-developer? [/quote]

That's right.  But now the builder can tear down an old home and construction, generally, one new house by right.   With Missing Middle housing, a large part of the County will be up-zoned so that builders can make more money building four townhouses on one 8,000 sq.ft.lot rather than one house.  [/quote]

And three additional families can own a home. [/quote]

And all the trees will be cut down and we will have more flooding, mudslides, etc...it's already happening in Arlington. Open your eyes. The Arlington Co Board is not doing this to provide affordable housing. They are selling off this county to the highest bidder and they don't give a crap about the residents. They are only on this board as a stepping stone to national politics. That's it. They DON"T CARE about Arlington.[/quote]

MMH would be subject to current zoning for setbacks and stormwater regulations. I’m concerned about the flooding due to oversized homes on tiny lots, something that won’t change under MMH. The problem is current zoning applicable to SFHs. [/quote]
