I don't know about this. As a resident of Takoma (DC), my sense is that neighbors on both sides of the border are generally opposed to development that brings density. The new mixed-use building going up on Carroll had to be scaled back because residents (and an ANC) thought it "didn't fit the community", despite the space being just an empty lot.

I'm younger and really like living in Takoma and generally can't relate to baby boomers who want to keep an awesome urban area with good transit access all to themselves. The anti-density crowd drives people farther out of the city and makes them more reliant on cars and sprawl.
