The County may shrink or remove low density areas as it revises its Comprehensive Plan this year.  Take the county survey (before June 30) AND write the County Board (using sample letter that you send to countyboard@arlingtonva.us).  Urge the Board to retain a mix of options, with medium/high density only in existing transit corridors, and low density development reserved elsewhere, and require prospective financing of infrastructure with new development.  More info here.
