Same great sales tax solution. Shorter URL.

@wusa9 5/Some of those supporting this one size fits all policy presented false choices like: do this or do nothing, and false promises that: these new units will be affordable for teachers. How many teachers make 147k?

[MCCF @MCCivicFed]

@wusa9 4/ As you noted in your report, duplexes are exempt from workforce affordability requirements. In Arlington those new duplexes are priced at $1.2- 1.8 million for each unit! Not affordable for teachers!

[MCCF @MCCivicFed]

@dawn_luedtke @MoCoCouncilMD Even the few workforce units that will be required can be sold to someone making $147k. How many teachers have that salary?

[MCCF @MCCivicFed]

@dawn_luedtke @MoCoCouncilMD The affected properties are concentrated in east county. There are very few if any in your district that will end up redeveloping under this ZTA. Same for Councilmember Balcombe.

@dawn_luedtke @MoCoCouncilMD Thank you for reply. Those who take advantage of this new one size fits all will b replacing existing workforce affordable residences in SE county with duplexes that’ll sell $1million+. In Arlington, the duplexes are $1.2-1.8 mil. Not affordable for teachers.

@mymcmedia @SuzannePollak Please do your research. This is not affordable housing. Studies have shown that what is being proposed will make housing more expensive, not more affordable and would displace existing affordable units. Details matter. Dig deeper.
