It isn't New Urbanist design, FFS, because it is an older area. The point it, the streets's narrowness is a feature, not a bug. [/quote]

The point is that, what might have remained a virtue had people left well enough alone, is a bug when people build homes that are too big for the lots and many streets have cars - whether of residents, visitors or both - parked on both sides.  LV still has a great location, and that trumps other factors for some, but the bloom is off the rose.  [/quote]

Correct.  Real estate really is 'location, location, location'. You can't build location. The proximity of large SFH (not rowhouses or condos) in a safe city-atmposhere a block to metro/shops/restaurants, less than 2 miles from dc and great public schools all the way through HS is the reason it has remained a hot neighborhood for over a decade and will remain so for the foreseeable future.  It will be really interesting to see what the changing streetscape/homes do for the neighborhood in the future.  I gather the county figures it can get more $ in real estate taxes which is why they are lax to put in place stricter regulations.  I am also thorougly convinced some of these builders are making shady deals which is why their monostrosities pass while permit requests for seemingly inocuous changes by homeowners are often turned down.
