Where do MoCo council members live?

[Anonymous]

Following up on the housing issue - where do all of the council members live? Will they live in zones protected from all of the upzoning they’re jamming down our throats? It’s completely hypocrisy if liberals in the county who live in areas like Takoma Park, Rockville, Gaithersburg etc can vote for these council clowns who want to ruin everyone else’s neighborhoods except theirs, because they can shield themselves by being ‘historic districts’ or incorporated cities. There should be zero exemptions for anywhere in the county. Upzoning for thee but not for me is insanity. So I wanna know where all the council members who are voting for this live. Are they protected from their own crappy policies?

I don’t know here he resides, but Katz represents Rockville, an area that will be largely exempt, yet he will still get a vote.

Must be nice!

How is someone from Rockville even allowed to vote on how the county is run when they incorporate themselves? It makes absolutely zero sense is utter hypocrisy. He can go vote to upzone silver spring yet his precious little historic district in Rockville would be exempt from building triplexes?

Because

1. the City of Rockville is in Montgomery County
2. the voters of Montgomery County elected him to the Montgomery County Council

Agreed, it’s stupid.

Doesn’t explain how Rockville voters can impose policies on the county they’re shielded from. Ridiculous hypocrisy. Historic Rockville needs to be upzoned with triplexes first before silver spring.

There is no hypocrisy here. You know how representatives at both the state and federal level get to vote on all types of things that don't have an effect on the little geography where their home resides.

Good news! Rockville voters can't! The zoning changes will require a majority on the Montgomery County Council, which has 11 members.

Also, while all of the City of Rockville historic districts are (by definition) in the City of Rockville, there is a lot of City of Rockville that is not in a historic district. I hope this explanation helps.

And finally, the zoning changes will also apply to county-designated historic districts.

This is good info, I think that the people in Rockville and Takoma Park think that they are shielded from that, maybe this fact will get them active!

Rockville, Takoma Park, this affects you, too!

74% of petition-signers live in Bethesda. Something to keep in mind when concern is expressed for low-income homeowners in Silver Spring.

And I just can't with the assertion that "the only certain beneficiaries are speculative developers", as though nobody will live in the housing. Guess who is responsible for the housing the originator of the petition lives in? Hint: it starts with speculative, and ends with developer.

No, the City of Rockville has its own zoning authority.

What you just describe is hypocrisy, whether it happens at the local, state, or national level is superfluous.
