[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Failing schools, imploding commercial real estate, and murders are not quite enough to destroy Alexandria, so the Council is a freight train about to vote on Tuesday to eliminate all SFH zoning.  Yay. [/quote]

Hooray!

Don't worry, OP, they are not eliminating detached one-unit residential buildings. They are simply eliminating zoning that bans everything except detached one-unit residential buildings. Property owners - like you - will now have more options for your property.[/quote]

Oh, yes.  Don't worry, no one will force demotion of your single family house.  :)

What this means is that if you live on a street currently zoned for single family homes, your neighbor can sell their house to a developer who could throw up a multistory, multiunit apartment building [b]as a matter of right.[/b]. There would be no review, no consideration of impacts, and no process in which you can submit a comment.[/quote]

This is false and misleading.

The proposal allows up to 4-plexes on what would currently be single family lots, and they can't be any bigger than the single family home you would otherwise have been able to build there.

I get why you're lying, because the thing I just described simply isn't scary enough to gin up the fear you need to get people to oppose it. But you need to stop.[/quote]
