This means that multifamily buildings with up to six homes were legalized in neighborhoods that had previously only allowed single-family detached homes. \n\nIn this episode, Jane Natoli, our SF Organizing Director, sits down with two Leaders from the YIMBYs of Northern Virginia, Jane Green and Alex Goyette. They discuss what it took to win in Arlington and how they plan to apply what they learned to a new opportunity to advocate for more homes in Alexandria.\n\nLinks:\n\nLearn more about YIMBYs of NoVA: https://www.yimbysofnova.org/home\nRead about the win in Arlington: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/22/arlington-missing-middle-vote-zoning/\nRead about the projects that are already being proposed under the missing middle program: https://www.arlnow.com/2023/07/06/new-more-than-a-dozen-missing-middle-permit-applications-are-in-the-works-so-far/\n\nLearn more about YIMBY Action: https://yimbyaction.org/\nFollow YIMBY Action on Twitter: https://twitter.com/yimbyaction/\nFollow YIMBY Action on Instagram: https://instagram.com/yimbyaction/\nFollow YIMBY Action on Facebook: https://facebook.com/yimbyaction/"}
