[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't get over the fact that the missing middle "solution" doesn't actually solve the problem that it sets out to address.  These new places aren't going to be "affordable housing" for teachers or others who work here.  They're going to be extremely expensive upper middle class housing that's basically a cash grab for developers, meanwhile there's no provisions being made for space in schools or other effects.  wtf Arlington?

It wasn't about solving the "affordable housing" issue.

That's actually another issue I have with this whole thing. When I first saw the term "missing middle" my thought was *not* housing, it was income, or at least housing that middle-income people could afford. Yes as soon as I looked into it I realized it wasn't an initiative to help teachers live here, but I really do think the name of the initiative is misleading and makes it sound a lot more altruistic than it is.

You're absolutely right. The CB didn't help with the confusion by starting the whole conversation about the idea of missing middle as a way to make homeownership more affordable for our teachers, etc.  That's exactly how they started the whole thing.[/quote]
