[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tiny homes are a waste of land.  What is the difference between tiny homes compared to townhouses and condos?  People that demand it are just people who can't afford the land demanding their own land.[/quote]

No they are not. It's an affordable option for people that want single family homes. You can fit a tiny home with a cute backyard on smaller lots. [/quote]

You are not understanding that it is the land that is expensive.  If you go to places with cheap land, like texas, then they are building small single family homes.  When land is expensive, then townhouse or condo is how you get a little bit more affordable.

Nobody is going to build a $200k tiny  house on a $800k lot.  [/quote]

Lots are not 800k in Virginia almost everwhere in Virginia outside of Arlington, Alexandria and certain areas of Fairfax county.  You can buy buildable lots in PWC for 100-200k. Condos are a trap that destroy wealth for homeowners. There are plenty of affordable areas in Northern Virginia and Virginia as a whole. Eliminating zoning to promote “affordability” because a handful of the most desirable zip codes on Northern Virginia are expensive does not make sense. They will never be affordable to the average person and changing the zoning rules to encourage the everyone to move to a small number of desirable locations will destroy what makes the locations desirable to begin with.
