You’ve got what looks like a “naturally affordable” single family home that will be replaced by two new places, both of which will cost significantly more either as rentals or to purchase. Increased density. . . yes. Gentrification… yes
You’re right. Which begs the question, “is this a good thing in this neighborhood”. I think there are better locations for infill housing.
Allowing small infill multi unit housing in addition to large scale high rises is all needed. Blocking units like this is how we got in this situation in the first place.
Multiple new units will put less pricing pressure on the units around them. The important thing is that it’s higher density than what it replaces. The one that hurts communities is turning multi units -> luxury single family.
