Why doesn't Montgomery County rezone Commercial Property to Housing?

You don't have to build it first, but you do have to plan it and ensure funding for it.

My area is already crowded in terms of roads and schools with single family homes. There would have to be some massive infastructure projects to accomodate adding multifamily dwellings to large areas of the county.

I’m really, really tired and bored of all of these YIMBY posts.

There would be fewer cars on the road if more people were able to live closer to things they can currently only reach by car.

I’m so tired of the NIMBY’s pushing everyone out to Clarksburg and Frederick.

Can you point to a city where this is an example?

Have you been pushed out to either Clarksburg or Frederick? The DMV is a huge area that provides lots of housing choices for everyone.

Can you point to a city where this is NOT an example?

Have you been pushed out to either Clarksburg or Frederick? The DMV is a huge area that provides lots of housing choices for everyone who has lots of money.

Fixed that for you.

You are the person making the claim, so the burden is on you to provide evidence. If you cannot provide evidence then your claim is unsupportable.

I think everyone is aware of the highest density place in this country, Manhattan. There is no traffic utopia there. Urbanized areas of Los Angeles are even more dense than New York and there is no renaissance of fewer cars and people driving.

If you have to make things up to state your case, then I am not sure what kind of case that you are making. Certainly one that lacks credibility.

Now imagine Manhattan if everyone had to drive everywhere to get where they're going.

That is just factually untrue, both for rental housing and ownership. For example, this is a perfectly nice starter home for $371k that is half a mile to two Metro stations, the same distance to groceries and other amenities and only 1.5 miles to the DC border.

What are you arguing now exactly? You claimed that density decreases traffic, the data says otherwise.

Is this a joke? Hyattsville is not in MoCo but sure someone that is going to live in Montgomery County is going to be in Hyattsville instead. Heck, they should just move out to Winchester VA while they're at it! You basically proved the point of the theread, thanks!

Different pp here. You are acting very obtuse here. For every person that walks, traffic is reduced. If no people can walk anywhere then there are more cars on the road.
