[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A six to nine-unit building constructed as a matter of right on a SFH street makes it no longer a SFH street. This change will turbocharge the tear down phenomenon in Arlington, making yesterday's McMansions seem like backyard playhouses.

That’s exactly right. This zoning is outstanding for developers like me. It’s stunning to believe that it actually passed - no one would have thought this was a possibility 5 years ago. But society has changed a lot over that time. Consider the exponentially more traffic that will be speeding through your neighborhoods, and the loss of trees and tranquility as your punishment for voting for woke imbeciles, and your cowardice in waiting so long to challenge the zoning bc you were afraid of being called a racist. The legislation had so much steam at the end, that your reps passed it despite acknowledging it does not accomplish it’s intended purpose.

I’m a Marylander who works in Arlington and would consider moving there several years from now. Pretty sure this would push me out. It’s so stupid that people think this is somehow inclusive. Instead of overpriced SFH, there will be 6 overpriced condos in the same footprint, with no new streets and no new parking spaces. Overcrowded schools will become more overcrowded because no one built a new one prior to changing the laws and figuring out density. The SFHs will become more scarce and, therefore, more expensive.

This will not bring in some great mixed income diversity. I walk around Ballston. It’s the yuppiest place one could imagine. It will now just be full of more yuppies but now they won’t have even less spaces in which to park. These people actually think they did something inclusive. LOL[/quote]
