While she said she hoped to bring people together following the “missing middle” vote, Cunningham nonetheless suggested lawmakers had approved the plan over the concerns of many residents.

“This is not New York City,” said Basler, steadying her walker. “It’s Arlington. And it’s more cars, more traffic, more people. I’ve lived here for 50 years and I’m sick of it.” The two women live in apartments in the nearby Colonial Village area. They’ve watched Arlington grow over the decades, and with it, the demand for more housing and amenities.
“We’re beginning to feel like we can’t breathe,” said Holbrook, who ranked Roy first and Cunningham second. “The county of Arlington has decided that every square inch of earth must have a building on it.”
