[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sincerely hope hope the MM passes.

It’s exactly what SFH’s in N Arl deserve for creating a Democrat stranglehold on everything. This is what they voted for, this is what they created, and it’s amazingly awesome to watch all the phony liberals freak out over MM 😂😂[/quote]

MM++ -- I am a SFH owner in N Arlington and support MM. Requiring SFH zoning has been shown to  be historically racist. Let's fix that.[/quote]

Too bad MMH isn’t fixing the racial disparity with home ownership in Arlington. That is just a strawman MMH proponents like to use. Again, this is simply about providing more million dollar homes. [/quote]

Sadly, MMH will force out  more POC who are renting in Halls Hill and Green Valley, two black communities. The others with lower incomes who live in market rate housing and  CAFs will continue to be ghettoized by Arlington County in South Arlington and around Arlington BLvd.

The desirable poors — older people, disabled, and white — will be allowed into North Arlington’s CAFs and set asides

Meanwhile, Plan Langston BLvd woukd have provided 1,600 affordable units and 4,600 market rate units off Langston BLvd.   Scared of that possibility in an election year, the ACB pushed aside PLB for MMH that will benefit people who can well affirm to live in Arlington, just not in the type of housing to which they feel entitled.   MMH will do nothing to enhance racial diversity or affordability in Arlington.

That means if any builder will bother to build the housing. [/quote]

Aren’t most of the original homeowners in Hall’s Hill and Green Valley POC? Why aren’t they allowed to build equity or cash out like all the original white homeowners elsewhere in Arlington? [/quote]

Considering home sites were sold in the early 20h Century in both Halls Hills and Nauck (now Green Valley), I suspect there are no original homeowners in those two communities.  Even if there were,  I referred to renters in the two communities, not homeowners.  Most of the rental properties are owned by old white families that bought properties after World War II when African Americans were able to move more readily to outlying areas that were more amenable to them than heavily segregated Arlington

Of course, the African American homeowners throughout Arlington can sell their properties and realized the economic gain they deserve.  It is more likely that anything new built on the properties will be sold to whites who value Arlington more than African Americans.  This will diminish the diversity of Arlington even more, except for the ghettoized parts of South Arlington that are more likely to be Hispanic or refugees from the Middle East, Africa, and Central America.

Green valley is already upzoned. So is a portion of Halls Hill. Feel free to move on to the next red herring. [/quote]
