[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people are worried about affordable housing, is there anything to be done about the developers in our neighborhood that tear down houses in the 800K range and replace them with ugly monstrous houses that they are trying to charge 2.4M for?  When we moved here 15 years ago it was such a nice neighborhood with nice normal houses and every year the new hosing just gets bigger and bigger.  I think it’s finally hit a ceiling as the last two houses are just sitting there with no buyers.  [/quote]

People will go with whatever makes the most money. You can't really stop people from building nicer houses, so the only thing you can really do is to provide similarly lucrative ways to build smaller, cheaper homes. More specifically, build multiple townhomes, duplexes, etc. on a single lot.[/quote]

***Developer alert, developer alert***. We don't want your multifamily housing where SFHs are currently. Go take that nonsense to Arlington.[/quote]
