The conversion of many of the newer McMansions to mini-apartments is a definate possibility. As long as MoCo allows them, it seems like a great way to re-purpose those houses and its precedent is still visible in the large victorian rowhomes of DC that became rooming houses and now are little condo buildings in themselves. The only challenge I see is transportation. MoCo needs to coordinate their revised zoning maps with the BRT to make the most of these changes.

It's unfortunate for many who banked on their sub-dividion being the new Potomac or Chevy Chase, but it's also unfortunate for those building along the Bay when storms keep flooding their houses. Homeowners can't expect the government to bail them out every time they make a dumb choice.
