[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hilarious to me that PPs are using Paris as an example of what Bethesda should look like. If that was the case, you'd have to raze nearly all the SFH where many of the UMC and wealthy live and replace them with 5-6 story apartment buildings (with no or very few garages) and rezone residential areas to mixed use. I mean, get a grip.[/quote] Actually that could be done if the units in multifamily buildings could sell for enough money. The trick is that nobody wants infill standalone 6 unit buildings on teardown lots in SFH neighborhoods (like everyone fights about in the Arlington forum). So you have to build outward from the "taller" parts in the downtown core. Big mirrored towers with no balconies are ugly and Bethesda's tall buildings have little architectural merit. If people don't build 5-6 story apartment buildings but approve more density, there will just be more ugly towers. [/quote]
