Agreed. |
Right because no MCPS parent could possibly have a different opinion from your own. Must be a troll. |
Metro fare evaders cost Metro $10 Million in 2022. That is no small amount. |
What makes you think there will not be more traffic? That is simply not true. Higher density means MORE traffic. More housing leads to more cars and that leads to more traffic. |
The problem isn't the "more housing near Metro" (that's great and I totally support it), it's the "not increasing school capacity fast enough." We just need to stay on top of the county council and BOE as these developments come in and make sure that they're expanding schools/building new schools/re-working boundaries as needed. |
No, higher density means less traffic. Because you can get where you need to go without driving and parking. |
+1 so many people are either morons or developer shills. |
If everyone paid their fares all the time, that would leave only $740 million left to cover. |
This. I get that we need more housing. AND we need more schools (and land for those schools). Geez if only the pro-housing faction (looking at you GGW) weren't so short-sighted |
Have the housing advocates advocated against schools? Not so's I've noticed. Who even reads GGW, these days? The glory days were 10 years ago. |
The Council lives there and that is all that matters. |
NYC is very high density. There is a a TON of traffic. Montgomery County has increased density over the past decade. Definitely more traffic in MoCo than there was a decade ago. Higher density means more people. More traffic. |
Are you serious? Half of the households in New York City don't even own a car. |
The goal is to have urbanized areas around metro stops in MoCo. Most of MoCo will remain suburban - or even rural in the ag reserve. |
Are you serious? As if building more housing in Montgomery County will somehow lead to fewer cars. BS. |
