I appreciate your concern for my home's equity, but my greater concern is all the high density housing projects that are littering the county. The impact of massive overdevelopment on our schools and roads will become much more acute in the coming years.

Could you please provide some examples of these "high density housing projects" that are "littering the county"? I don't think I understand what you're referring to.

You've got to be kidding right? Crown Farm is one example of many.

How many single family house (not townhouse) communities are currently being constructed?

Crown Farm is a high-density housing project? I don't think of 337 townhouses, 60 single-family detached houses, 1149 multi-family units, and 257,400 square feet of commercial uses on 88 acres as "high density". Or "housing project". We must have different definitions.

This is where I got my numbers from: http://www.crownfarm.org/

White mom wants single family units only and expensive ones to keep the blacks and hispanics out.... multi-family units... like as in apartments and condos... agast!

Oh, so this is a "white mom" problem then? Why do you think the county's schools are suddenly becoming so overcrowded?

The problem is that MoCo is importing poverty from NoVA which has much less friendly social policies and places less emphasis on building "affordable housing." As taxes go up on MoCo's working families and businesses to pay for the expanding social net, the jobs and higher wage earners opt for the lower tax alternative in VA, which sports equally good amenities at a much lower cost.

Yes.... Trump needs to build a wall on the American Legion Bridge.

Keep the hispanics out and the rich in. ... I will take the hispanics, thanks!

Admittedly they're not building high rise clusters on Crown, but the housing stats you just cited prove my point. Unlike Bethesda and Wheaton where the multi-family skyscrapers are popping up, Crown Farm isn't within walking distance from a metro either. The "proposed" CCT system is merely a justification to shove more multi-family housing into the far suburbs.

OK, now I understand -- when you say "high density housing projects", what you mean is "townhouses and condos/apartment buildings".

At least some of those townhouses at Crown Farm are going for $650,000 and up. Not really what I consider housing for the poors.

If it makes you happy, we can refer to it as "medium density" then.

"Some" of the residences are indeed going for $650,000. However, as you noted previously, the vast majority of units are condos or apartments.

There probably won't be very many MCPS students coming from the $1,400/month studios. Not to mention that the one-bedrooms seem to be going for more like $1,800/month, or more. $1,800/month = $21,600 per year, let's assume that you're not paying more than one-third of your income in rent, so $64,800 for a one-bedroom -- again, not housing for the poors.

In any case, I'm not sure what your point is. Why is it bad that there are rental apartments at Crown Farm?

For a studio. There is a 3 br for $1400/month? I would like to know. My brother just got divorced and has 2 daughters and is looking for a 3 bedroom. $1400/month would be sweet, please provide a link, I can't find one.

What "affordable housing" are you referring to?

Take a drive around Tyson's sometime. They are building some very tall apartment buildings... next to the new metro stations and rows and rows of occupied office buildings, which extend all the way down the Dulles Corridor. Kind of contrasts with the empty commercials along the vaunted 270 "technology corridor" eh?

Crown Farm properties go for a premium because everyone is clamoring to live near the CCT station.
