Shocked to discover author of divisive posting "Update: Arlington County Board Hears Public Comment. . ." is Blue Virginia News owner/editor. Editor is sadly using mis-information and hyperbole to stir anger and distrust within our party. NONE of the 2023 Democratic candidates for Arlington County Board are against "Missing-Middle." ALL candidates seek to address county's diversity and density issues. Check their websites to learn more.

Disappointed to see LOWKELL's posting on BlueVirginia. It is biased and misinformed. In addition it suggests issue is political. It is not. The majority of zoning initiative's opponents are Democrats. We recognized Arlington's housing crisis and need for diversity. However the County Boards proposed plan is sloppy, unvetted and does not tackle affordability (unless you consider proposed $1.4M townhomes "affordable"). Opponents are seeking further study to address the plan's many flaws. We need to address Arlington's issues with analysis and wisdom, not virtue signaling.
