[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are now townhomes on Rockledge Drive so it appears they are doing some of this.[/quote]
The funny thing about Rockledge is that if there was an area that could deservedly be upzoned for greater density, it is there. And yet the county rezoned it to let EYA build townhomes instead.

No one is opposed to townhomes and they have been a part of development in our county for ever. There are tons of townhomes in downtown Bethesda for example. Middle housing is not in fact "missing" from their own defined "walkshed" of downtown Bethesda. Instead what we have is sloganeering. What people object to having their house abut a 4-plex. I think that is fair.
