[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how much of it was driven by the Amazon HQ2 coming to "National Landing." I wonder if Amazon was promised by Arlington (which just passed Missing Middle) and Alexandria that they would find more housing for Amazon employees because younger workers like being closer to work. It's surely not a coincidence that the whole YIMBY movement took off in the tech-heavy SF Bay Area? [/quote]

Nah, this has been brewing since well before HQ2 was conceived.[/quote]

Katie Cristol, late of the Arlington County Board, fulfilled her dream of rezoning single family neighborhoods to the east coast. She then left the board with a lawsuit and many people who realized they go duped by Cristol and the builders.   If the builders had gone to Arlington County and asked them to rezone single family neighborhoods to multi-family, the board would have laughed them out of their star chamber.  But a bunch of white YIMBYs (whose ringleader lives in Alexandria and proclaims himself a refugee from Arlington) got the rezoning done, pending a lawsuit.  The builders got the YIMBYs to do their dirty work for them.  [/quote]
