We will be affected by rezoning and we don’t want it, none of our neighbors want it. This imposition and destruction of communities is baffling.
There is empty commercial space and land like White Flint and Geico that can be redeveloped without affecting established neighborhoods.

Do we need more missing middle and workforce housing, yes. Put it on the busy corridors (River Road, Old Georgetown Road, Wisconsin Ave, Connecticut Ave, Georgia Ave amd New Hampshire Ave) and near the metro, instead of building million dollar townhouses and luxury condos there. Apartment buildings have no place in the suburbs

Where are you looking that you think a small apartment building would change the character of a neighborhood?
It would change that character of many neighborhoods, create overcrowding and bring crime.
Small apartment buildings cause crime?
