Pretty much. It won’t make #1 come to fruition, fwiw.

1) The "missing middle" side: pushing for more affordable, smaller, denser housing options so that the teachers/firefighters/etc. in Arlington can afford to live here, and
2) The "responsible growth" side: arguing that the current plans don't account for the strain on schools, infrastructure, storm water drain-off, tree canopy, etc.
Is that generally right?
Are there any other arguments FOR this project? Is there a good resource to read a balanced view on the pros/cons?
There was an article i just read, maybe in Arlington News Now, about how the "missing middle" is NOT about affordability.

You “don’t want a debate”, then what are you doing? LOL.
