Housing has become a crisis in Arlington. Supply is completely out of alignment with demand. We need an all of the above approach to increasing the housing supply. Subsidy and a few one-off affordable housing projects a year will not stabilize rents or bring them down. We have a multitude of levers to pull, and we need to start yanking.

Housing Policies

Transit-Oriented Development

Focus dense development at the most desirable locations, Metro stations, and remove zoning restrictions. Abandon the rules that limit building height between Metro stations.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are complete and independent units on existing land. Anyone in Arlington who wants to expand housing on their own land, should be able to.

Coordination with Richmond

Arlington does not have as much independence as it requires to solve its own problems quickly. We need to work with Richmond to gain more autonomy on housing projects.

Remove Parking Minimum

Parking minimums force new developments to build costly underground parking or take up scarce surface space that could be used for housing.

Mixed-Use Developments

Housing should stimulate economic development. Groceries stores, malls, bars, restaurants, should all come with housing developments. It creates more economic activity and it incentivizes dense walkable communities, which are safer, happier, and more financially sound.
