[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how people are losing their minds over one three-unit townhouse complex on their street. I'm in the Penrose neighborhood (South Arlington) and we are the epitome of Missing Middle. On my street we have old duplexes, old apartment buildings of various sizes, subsidized apartments, a large apartment complex, and older single family houses. I'm living in an eight-plex and somehow all of us in the neighborhood are getting along just fine. You take this same concept north of the Langston Blvd are people are going nuts about it.[/quote]

Some people like just to complain.

They’ll get over it at some point.

I also live in Penrose. One thing you will note is all these developments have adequate parking. The duplexes all have 4 off street parking spaces. And the apartment buildings all have parking lots.

You will also note that some streets in Penrose are tiny. They are not wide enough for two cars to pass when a car is parked on either side. So, if Penrose got a bunch of 6-plexes with only 3 parking spaces on some streets, it might be a real issue.

I have no issues with mixed housing neighborhoods. We picked this one. But I still think MM is terrible policy, because while it is allowed everywhere, it doesn't work everywhere. My main complaint is that it does not require enough off-street parking.[/quote]
