Is it legal in Montgomery County to do this? Absolutely zero work and construction was done in the house, so the house is still built with rooms, kitchen, and bathroom like it is for a single family.

It's really justifying up the steet and declining the quality of life for everyone.

What does this mean?

Crappy autocorrect.

Junkifying was the original word.

This is just "Missing Middle" and "Housing for All" MoCo style.

Why bother to tear down a SFH and build a fourplex when you have renters who will happily cram four families into a SFH?

Welcome to the new normal.

It’s probably not legal. In single family neighborhoods the cap is typically one family or four unrelated adults, so multiple families would be a problem. But as a practical matter the county might not enforce those rules, especially against renters that aren’t engaging in criminal conduct.

Nobody had a problem with me and my four housemates and our five cars in our group house in Bethesda.

Because you didn’t throw trash in the street.

Or park on people's lawns.

You’re racist for assuming that only people of color live in group houses.

OP is talking about 4-5 families not 4-5 professionals living in a home. Very different. It is happening in many SFH and town homes across the county. I work in home health and see it all the time.

Worst nightmare??? Come on stop being a dramatic!! Also try living an apartment with shared walls and a bunch or people living next to you, above you to the side of you then come back here to fake cry.

Grow up.

Where do you live? Let's see how you like of the home next to you goes from a single family to now 5 families parking 8 cars now all in the drive way and in the yards and throwing trash all over the street in front of your house..let's see how much you'd like it.

But it's not the home next to you. You said it was down the street and next to your neighbor. I get it, though. What does your neighbor intend to do about it?

Multifamily housing is the future.

You think they're doing this because they're happier this way, or because it's what they can afford?
