It will take a little longer for a slightly freer housing market to provide some possibly cheaper new homes in Arlington now that a judge has thrown a stop sign in front of my county’s attempt to allow multiple-family housing on lots formerly reserved for single-family housing.

Retired Fairfax County judge David Schell (picked by Virginia’s Supreme Court after all of Arlington’s active judges recused themselves) ruled Friday that Arlington’s “Expanded Housing Options” liberalization of by-right zoning failed four procedural tests.

Per a recap in a newsletter published by EHO opponents, Schell held that the Arlington County Board did not start the zoning-amendment process correctly, did not analyze possible EHO effects on such local infrastructure as parking spaces and sewer capacity, should have required a County Board approval of each EHO permit, and did not comply with tree-coverage standards in Virginia law.

I would point to Schell’s ruling here, but coverage from ArlNow and the Washington Post indicate that he only read it from the bench and has yet to post a copy of it anywhere. Which, this far into the 21st century, should be an impeachable offense by itself.

The County Board posted a statement Friday that said it was “reviewing the decision and “determining the appropriate next steps to properly adhere to the ruling” and was “exploring potential options moving forward, including appeal.”

(Ritual disclosure: My wife works for Arlington’s government but did not have a say in EHO.)

Absent a PDF from the judge to peruse, I may be missing some nuances of this rebuke of the partial deregulation of what affordable-housing advocates often call “missing middle” housing–because this category of residence falls between standalone houses and apartments. But here’s what I think I know:

• The ticky-tack fouls called here seem curable with further rounds of rulemaking by the County Board. But that work will not be free, which bothers me more than usual given that we pay the second half of our property taxes next month.

• Schell’s ruling does nothing to stop the plague of teardowns that is steadily destroying older, smaller houses and replacing them with gargantuan, $2 million-plus McMansions that only dual-lawyer couples can afford.

• I’ve yet to see EHO/missing-middle opponents offer a serious argument about how they would slow the teardown-to-McMansion epidemic under the older rules that required lawyers-needed site plan permits for duplexes and anything more dense than a single-family home.

• If it’s a problem for speculative developers to build missing-middle housing that they can then rent out–a risk I often see raised on my neighborhood’s mailing list–how is that not an issue for single-family housing?

• Many missing-middle opponents around here keep describing their opposition as total–their yard signs often denounce even legalizing duplexes. That does not strike me, living next door to an older house now rented out as multiple apartments, as reasonable or constructive opposition.

• Here’s why: Arlington, like many other localities, effectively banned duplexes, row houses, and other kinds of missing-middle housing in the 1930s and 1940s for objectively racist reasons.

• It’s a basic free-market principle that if you want to make something cheaper, you make more of it. Why is that so hard for people to understand in the housing market?

I hired someone on Fiverr to create a 3D model and renderings of Unit A, and they turned out amazing! But now I'm wondering if I know anyone who's good at Unreal Engine who wants to see what else they can do with this model? Maybe turn it into an iPad app? or...??

Adding this from the NYAG to help clear the weeds of #McConney’s #Day4 testimony in the #Trump #Fraud #trial:

Trump claimed on mult #financial statements that the #TrumpTower #triplex, assessed at $127M, was valued at $327M, "based on the apt having 30k sq ft of space multiplied by a certain price per sq ft. However, the actual size of Mr. Trump's triplex apt was 10,996 sq ft, &

Sticking with #3GracesComplex. What else am I going to use, #triplex? ॰॰॰The wind advisory was a wash. Some hail. ॰॰॰Passed my annual physical and its labs with flying colors. No tweaks were suggested. I have plenty of blood, etc. ॰॰॰

✨ It's happening! ✨

This is the year we are finally building the triplex! It only took 4 years of planning and permitting, but construction is finally under way!

(and still more that this article triggered for me) And in my last toot, I was referencing big cities, but up in #NorthernBC we have a big problem with the #missingmiddle housing. We have single family housing, and we have apartment buildings, but not a lot of really good #townhouse #Triplex etc types of housing so people can find appropriate housing for their circumstance as they age in their communities. #BCpoli

I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work

#Magnet #Mandelbrot set #fractal mashed up with #ThreeD #Triplex algebra (a la #Mandelbulb) rendered with #DualNumber #DistanceEstimation in #FragM fork of #Fragmentarium

My highly over-engineered extravagant framework of shaders including each other multiple times with different things defined (to emulate C++ templates with #GLSL function overloading without polymorphism) takes significantly longer to link the #shader than it does to render the #animation.

First attempts with typos gave 100k lines of cascaded errors in the shader info log, which which the Qt GUI list widget was Not Happy At All. Luckily the log went to stdout too, so I could pipe to a file and see the start where I missed a return statement or two.

(a clone for the ) at an MSX fair/user-meeting in back in .
This game uses a network created by connecting the sound extension cartridges of each with cables, for a network of up to a theoretical maximum of (afaik) 16 computers. Weren't as many at this event though.
