[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very supportive. We are priced out and would be open to a multiplex. We need more equity in housing. [/quote]

There are a million condos -- why do you want to live in one next door to single family homes? [/quote]

For the very obvious reason that that’s likely a very desirable neighborhood and the condo will be an easier way to afford it. [/quote]

When SFH neighborhoods start becoming filled with multi family units, it becomes a less desirable neighborhood.  Some people seek SFH to get away from higher density. Why is it considered equity to change the structure of neighborhoods when it it forces people who seek less density to leave? [/quote]

DP
A desirable land location is limited so it makes sense to allow more density.
For example if you have a single family house zoned short  walk from a metro.[/quote]

And then the land becomes less desirable.  People will move to where they again have SFH zoning and good schools.  What then, run a BRT line out to the neighborhood and ruin that neighborhood, too, because it’s near “mass transit?”[/quote]

But Alexandria doesn’t have good schools.  Didn’t the high school almost lose its accreditation a few years back???[/quote]
