[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My area of Arlington has 40×150 lots. Explain to me how fitting a triplex or sixplex next door with my 8 ft side yard is not unfair.  [/quote]

I’m also in an R-6 neighborhood. Explain to me how the number of units in a building is different than being sandwiched between 2 new build SFH that are built right up to the maximum lot coverage?

The house in question is asking $1.2 for a teardown. That’s an expensive lot. To turn a profit, you have to build a $2.5-3M home or multiple units. Guess what? That $2-3M home will also tower over your modest house next door and shade the yard with a tall, narrow monstrosity of a home. [/quote]

You truly can’t understand the difference between a single family house with 2 kids and a garage and apartment building?A minimum of 12 cars with 6 or less parking spaces. A dumpster of garbage placed right by your fence and 18 neighbors as opposed to 4. Enjoy![/quote]

I think everyone understands your life is (negatively) impacted by having a larger apartment next door to you, but come on. You’re acting like it is catastrophically impacting your quality of life. It really isn’t. Take one for the team. Your home will still appreciate.[/quote]

It will negatively impact my life and that’s why I moved to my quiet neighborhood. I used to live in an apartment in Clarendon. I don’t want to live that way anymore. And it’s absurd to say take one “for the team.” You must be a troll. Also, people like me aren’t worried about appreciation. We have other investments. All our money isn’t tied up in our Arlington $hit shack. Here’s the BEST part, I can easily sell my 2.7 million dollar house and move to McLean. And the more MM that is built, that’s exactly what people like me will do. And property values will go down as Arlington becomes less desirable. More MM will be built and it will be a cycle. And viola, you’ll soon be living in Alexandria! [/quote]

It's hard not to see the decline in parts of Silver Spring as a warning for what may happen in NOVA.[/quote]

I’m not sure Silver Spring has declined. I guess you could say downtown has suffered post pandemic but overall and looking longer term Silver Spring is doing pretty well[/quote]

Up in Wheaton/Glenmont area it has definitely declined. [/quote]

Wheaton and Glenmont have been poorer and meh for decades, define decline?  Downtown has plateaued in terms of silver sprung but it is still leap years ahead of where it was in the 80s so that is progress. As Langley Park’s poverty spreads down Colesville though the Wyane, flower and Thayer Aves one might ask will inner SS hold onto the upper middle class it gained over the last 20 years when they were priced out of nicer areas to the west? Where else are the going to go? Columbia or PG…. Not a lot of them, those areas for the most part are for those priced out of silver spring.[/quote]
