Arl NAACP: About time, you better do it right.
#ArlingtonVA: Um, eightplexes are too much.

@BHeardEsq they have been a vocal supporter of rezoning from the beginning of the study, and the County's own study materials were very explicit about the price/income/race nexus, and the potential for reform to diversify the County.
