Montgomery for All Missing Middle presentation

Sorry, “attainable housing,” which according to the recording means that they won’t have to build within the size limits of a single family home if the home is in a
”growth corridor.”

Looks like Bethesda and Chevy Chase will be getting a LOT of density.

Andrew Friedson gives an intro to the project, but the presentation itself begins at around 34:20.

Every time I go by Chevy Chase Country Club and Columbia(?) Country Club while riding the X1 bus up Connecticut Ave, I wonder how many people could have homes if those massive properties had affordable high rise buildings on them instead of golf courses.

It would literally solve the housing problems of everyone in the DC area. It’s heartbreaking.

Wow - what a great idea. I see no problems with this whatsoever.

And no current homes would be lost in the process. That’s the beauty of it. It’s equitable for everyone involved.

They will likely have fewer club members, anyway, once million dollar four- and six-plexes start showing up in neighborhoods, by right.

Anacostia is also rolling hills of Sfh... They'd likely welcome some well planned investment and development. I guess you are not familiar with all the areas where people in DC "could" live?

Apartment buildings keep going up everywhere in the DMV, with often generous numerous of units for "affordable" housing. Yet the problem of not having enough "affordable" housing seems to persist.

I think "affordable" housing is one of those things where if you build it, they will come. So there will never be enough of it.

Do what you can, but it’s coming. All Thrive 2050.

Now they are establishing transportation corridors with “mass transit.” You know, the BRT, aka the bus. Mink, Friedson and Glass are right now proposing to end residential parking requirements within so far of a bus stop, and I think that it is one quarter of a mile. One half mile from the purple line. Then they will say, oh look, a perfect opportunity to build density here!! Great mother urbanism is coming whether you like it or not. Remember in November.

I am a member of one of those. If the county wants to pay me my $100k fee back then go for it. Otherwise, good luck.

Why do people think they have a right to live in the most expensive neighborhoods in the country?

I watched this video and can't stop thinking about how the people on this project have zero real world experience.

Please god let's vote out every moronic person on the moco council

And those who purchased a SFH in a n-hood of SFHs in order to live in such an area will move. Very simple. And guess what? Those who live in SFHs pay a huge percentage of MoCo's income tax revenues. Neither Maryland nor MoCo are growing. This is a made up crisis.

I think this proposal is just fluff created from people who have no common sense. I can't wait for the legal battles from all our Associations. I guess worst case, I sell my property for a ridiculous profit and leave town
