There is a road shortage in Maryland, caused by .gov having allowed many thousands of new homes and (frequently vacant) commercial properties to be built, without adding a millimeter of new road.

This eyewash is a dodge to destroy the character of existing neighborhoods, take over what remains of anything resembling a conservative area in Maryland, and generate more tax revenue to fund the endless fraud, waste and abuse in the State.

Transit shortage, not road shortage.

The govt is trying to tell owners of private land who they can and cannot sell to. Why shouldn't owners be allowed to sell their properties to someone who is willing to pay over asking price while a renter would only want to pay asking price?

Typical for Dems - more govt control over everything.

Hate to break it to you but America has had property controls and restrictions on what you can and can't do with your land ever since the Pilgrims stepped off the Mayflower in 1620. Historians on planning and building controls have documented it.

But that said, the problem IS people paying more than asking price. They are creating artificial bubbles in real estate costs.

"Asking price" is just a marketing gimmick. That has nothing to do with the actual price.

Oh, the horror. None of us should have to deal with the atrocity of being able to afford homes on basic incomes like our boomer parents did. /s

Where in the Constitution does it say you have an inalienable right affordable housing? Also, please provide a hard definition for what defines 'affordable' for affordable housing.

"Promote the general Welfare", baby!

As Lincoln said, government "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

Feel free to move to free Somalia.

Yes! Let's replace all the tax-paying high earners with illegal aliens who cost the the state a fortune every year. Then we can all live like it's the 1970s Soviet Union.

They don't, actually. And the US economy is going to be in really sorry shape if we shut off immigration. But who needs data when you can just rely on stereotypes and preconceptions.

Of course they do. They only don't in the progressive land of make believe. And I'm all for legal immigration.

No, you're not. Not that it matters. This thread is about the housing shortage, not your personal beliefs about immigrants.

Typical progressive. You won't believe that I favor legal immigration after I tell you I do but if I put on a wig and some makeup you'd call me a stunning and brave woman even though I'm a man.

p.s. you brought my beliefs into it. I simply said that replacing tax-paying high earners with poor people who require a lot of f8nancial assistance, especially because they aren't here legally, is a bad idea.

Yes, keep them coming. We need minimum wage workers for businesses that won't question working for the scraps that businesses want to pay.
