[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are putting our $1.5-1.6M SFH in North Arlignton on the market next month and I can only hope a developer will buy it and build a six-plex. My NIMBY limousine liberal neighbors all deserve it.[/quote]

DH and I have owned our SFH in Cherrydale on an average size lot for 25 years.  When we bought, it was the largest house on the block but still had a large backyard by Arlington standards.  Over the years almost all the houses around us have had huge additions put on or in more recent years been torn down and replaced with McMansions. Our house is now one of the smallest in the neighborhood and our backyard feels more like an enclosed courtyard, swallowed up thanks to the almost disappearance of our neighbors' backyards and trees.  So when we retire and sell, I could care less what is built on our lot and given location, it will likely be a multiplex.   As far as I am concerned my neighbors' additions and McMansions significantly effected the enjoyability of my home and increasing density in Arlington is inevitable. [/quote]

This.  You can’t complain about loss of trees and green space without complaining about the single-family monstrosities that have been going up for years.[/quote]
