Arlington, Virginia, will now allow the construction of Missing Middle Housing where only single-family homes could once be built.

It's a scene typical of neighborhoods found across the country: single-family homes lining leafy streets.

The zoning changes passed unanimously by the county will now allow for the construction of what's known as Missing Middle Housing, in areas where only single-family homes could once be built. The group opposes the new zoning rules for several reasons, including because, they say, the county's infrastructure isn't ready for it. Bodine points to other ways to address affordable housing.

A number of states and counties around the country are looking into changing zoning laws to allow more Missing Middle Housing. Some succeeded, while others did not.
