| I'm talking about apartments, rent controlled and affordable housing needs to be a priority in that town |

| Narrow two lane roads, zero transit, little retail and few local jobs — OP you are nuts. |

1. Potomac is not a “town”. It is not even incorporated.
2. Rent control is not a thing anywhere in Montgomery County. |

| No. Public transit is terrible in the area, very little inexpensive food and commerce, and far from most jobs. This would make ZERO sense. |

OP, Curious why you say that. Potomac is a bit rural and not near public transportation or much of anything else for that matter.

There’s no reason we can’t build transit there or add bus routes. |

There is a reason why we cannot do these things, it is called planning. These things are not in the short or long-term transportation plans for Potomac. Furthermore, to the OPs first point, the county took a historic look at housing and land use to produce a new general plan called Thrive 2050 that had the organizing principal of “compact growth”. Developing Potomac contradicts that principal and as a result, River Rd north of the Beltway to Potomac was specifically and unanimously determined to not be a “growth corridor” for housing densification. |

Takoma Park. And Elrich and Jawando want to make it countywide. |

Because Potomac is not incorporated, the only jurisdiction that could impose it on Potomac would be Montgomery County. It is not the law of Montgomery County. |
