Zoning Laws and People Being Priced-out

But it is true in Montgomery County. Look at North Bethesda, where they're putting high-density near single family homes, where there is no Transit within 2+ miles. Its called infill, and they are fulling in every bit of green space there used to be. The roads are overwhelmed, the schools are overwhelmed, and they keep approving and building more.

Where in North Bethesda is high density going in that is not near transit?

WMAL, Rock Spring, the new apartment building going into Wildwood Shopping Center (that was originally submitted as an office building, then switched to apartments - they worked with the neighbors to mitigate some of the consequences and a few years later tried to switch and add even more density), EYA at Fernwood, etc., etc.

The 2 high rises going into the Pooks Hill Marriott parking lot are pretty far from metro (might be 1.5 miles as the crow flies, but you can't walk as the crow flies), there is a bus that goes every half hour, but the people who live in the condos on the same street say its already always full.

You think the 150 attached single-family houses and 159 detached single-family houses on 75 acres (WMAL) is high density?

If the buses from Pooks Hill to the Metro are full, that's great. It shows that the bus connection works. Push the county for more buses.

I would be open to my family living in an apt building if it were like some of them are in europe where you have a lot of room in it. But here it is mostly condos,1 BR and 2 BR - not a decent amount of space.
