[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, let's say you bought a row house in Georgetown that's been around for 200yrs.  You shouldn't be upset if they tore down the houses across the street to build a high rise office building?  Our neighborhood has been single family homes for 80yrs.  This is different from changing school boundaries.  It's fundamentally changing the character of a neighborhood.

You'd like us to think it's no different but living next to a 4-unit apartment IS different from living next to another single family home also with a yard and driveway.  I get that you're okay with this, and clearly our county board is as well, but not all of us are.[/quote]

You can be upset all you want. Your feelings are your feelings. You should feel your feelings. Plus, generally, people don't like change.

However, your feelings are not necessarily the basis of good housing policy. Especially when your feelings are: I am upset when things change, therefore things should not be allowed to change.[/quote]
