@Amy DeCesare While the areas you mention could certainly benefit from more multi-family units, generally people in the more affluent parts of the state like Washington county oppose such new development, either indirectly through zoning ordinances like minimum lot size and parking requirements that make it almost impossible to build (as @Brandon Ingegneri mentioned), or directly at zoning hearings where neighbors show up and oppose it because that they don't want to change the "character" of their neighborhood.It can be done, but it's far more the exception than the rule and requires big bucks, political savviness, and the ability to make a big bet and absorb the loss if you lose.
