THE LATEST
MISSING MIDDLE
IS THE MOST DIVISIVE TOPIC IN ARLINGTON
Arlington’s Missing Middle zoning ordinance is back on the books, at least for the time being, following a ruling in the Virginia Court of Appeals. In the latest development in the dramatic legal battle over the county’s Expanded Housing Option (EHO), three appeals court judges issued a ruling that reverses a circuit court decision declaring the zoning change void.
STOP PERMITTING, NOW!
We are awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court of Virginia to hear the case and to immediately stop Arlington County from issuing permits. A few Missing Middle Housing projects were allowed to proceed including a duplex and six-plex. These "real" examples give a true indication of what's happening and the myth of affordability.
ARLINGTON's
FIRST DUPLEX
before
after
Arlington County is ground zero in the Missing Middle Housing fight with the first duplex built on N. Troy Street. The single-family home sold for $862,500. Each side of the duplex is listed for $1,649,000. It's a developer's dream. Where's the affordability?
ARLINGTON'S FUTURE
IS THIS A COMMUNITY WHERE
YOU WANT TO LIVE?
Under Arlington County's Expanded Housing Option (EHO), the new zoning ordinance allows developers to tear down single-family homes and build six-plexes.
