If you ask anyone why they voted for Elrich, almost all of them will give that as the reason. Hopefully the people of Arlington are smart enough to act similarly.

It’s exactly what SFH’s in N Arl deserve for creating a Democrat stranglehold on everything. This is what they voted for, this is what they created, and it’s amazingly awesome to watch all the phony liberals freak out over MM 😂😂

MM++ -- I am a SFH owner in N Arlington and support MM. Requiring SFH zoning has been shown to be historically racist. Let's fix that.

I'd like to see more restrictions on new construction in general re: parking, trees, lot coverage, but that's not specific to MM. I'm good with MM itself.

-SFH owner in $$$ neighborhood

Let me tell you how this goes. First they pass the MM initiative so there's no restriction on multi-family housing. Next they have some kind of "opportunity" for affordable housing. Maybe a church is being redeveloped or someone donates some land, who knows. From there, it's a fairly easy process for them to allow bonus density, extra height, etc. because we "need the housing." All of the sudden there's an approved project that covers the entire lot and is twice as high as the zoning would otherwise allow.

Wouldn't happen? They did it in my neighborhood, they will do it in yours.

So you admit, that the fear is that undesirable not rich people will move in. And not only one or two of the, but a like 10 or more. The horror!
What happened to everyone is welcome here?

The problem is infrastructure. Schools, parks, sewer systems, parking, etc. Adding more people makes quality of life worse for people already here. The underlying assumption of increased density is that we should all just be fine with it and sacrifice for the cause.

The underlying principle for my support of MM is that people have to live somewhere and density is greener than sprawl. I care about what sort of planet I'm leaving for my children. People who think sprawl is A+++ total excellence can move out beyond the Beltway to enjoy big houses and big commutes.

Too bad MMH isn’t fixing the racial disparity with home ownership in Arlington. That is just a strawman MMH proponents like to use. Again, this is simply about providing more million dollar homes.

Sadly, MMH will force out more POC who are renting in Halls Hill and Green Valley, two black communities. The others with lower incomes who live in market rate housing and CAFs will continue to be ghettoized by Arlington County in South Arlington and around Arlington BLvd.

The desirable poors — older people, disabled, and white — will be allowed into North Arlington’s CAFs and set asides

Meanwhile, Plan Langston BLvd woukd have provided 1,600 affordable units and 4,600 market rate units off Langston BLvd. Scared of that possibility in an election year, the ACB pushed aside PLB for MMH that will benefit people who can well affirm to live in Arlington, just not in the type of housing to which they feel entitled. MMH will do nothing to enhance racial diversity or affordability in Arlington.


That means if any builder will bother to build the housing.
