How Arlington Transformed Into America's Housing Boom Town (And What DC is Copying)

Описание: How Arlington Transformed Into America's Housing Boom Town (And What DC is Copying)

Arlington looks like just another D.C. suburb—until you check the numbers. While cities across America fight over zoning and watch housing costs spiral, this Virginia county quietly became the nation's most aggressive housing builder. In the last decade, Arlington added more housing units per capita than almost anywhere else in the country. Rents stabilized while neighbors saw theirs double. The Metro became a money-maker instead of a money pit. And now, Washington D.C. itself is copying the playbook.

So how did a conservative suburb become America's urbanist experiment? The answer rewrites everything you think you know about American housing policy.

In this video: Arlington's transit-oriented development strategy, Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor plan, slashed parking minimums, the Affordable Housing Investment Fund, Amazon HQ2's role, and how D.C. is finally learning from its "suburb" across the Potomac.
