[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People and neighborhood groups did propose options--not just objections--but the board didn't listen, minds made up.

I too thought [b]MM's intent and purpose was to build lower cost affordable town houses and condos in residential neighborhoods for families to PURCHASE not a bunch of rentals.[/b] [/quote]

Wishful thinking and was never going to happen. I was sorry Roy didn't win the primary. I know her socially and she'd been talking about this fallacy for a long time and that, as a realtor, she knows a lot of developers who have told her MM is good for them but bad for neighborhoods. I think she'd have brought a good dose of reality to the board.[/quote]

I think the boards suspects this.  I also assume that’s why they are capping the annual number of building permits for EHOs.  I don’t think anyone really knows what’s going to happen for sure.[/quote]

The Board isn’t capping the annual number of permits because they suspect this will be bad for neighborhoods! They don’t care what happens with this housing or neighborhoods (there can never be too much density for them). The Board just wanted to be one of the first counties in the country to have MMH. They only put a cap to make it look like they were compromising with all the residents who were opposed to MMH. They also changed the name because everyone knows that this housing isn’t for middle class folks that can’t afford Arlington. They made very few concessions and are not worried in the least about parking, sewers, over crowded schools or tree canopy.[/quote]

They put their own personal agendas before the good and needs of the community. At least two of them will be gone and hope the Board moving forward will be aligned with the residents of this county.[/quote]
