The Great American Single-Family Home Problem

“Screwing people out of their equity” is not nearly what is happening here.

To sell the 3 units in the new lot, they will have to be relatively high end and there will probably be no clear net plus/minus in property values attributable to them. Instead of fighting the change tooth and claw, the neighborhood should be ensuring that the development as-built is high quality. For one, the lot setbacks look like to be as much as 20 feet, which is quite good.

Or you could just find a cheaper place to live.

Or if an area is zoned for this type of construction, which it is, then maybe the neighbors should stop whining and those homes should be built.
