[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a disaster.

The real question is why can any average white male win over competent people.

He’s not a Democrat he is a progressive socialist.[/quote]

Don't "progressive socialists" want housing and transportation and jobs?[/quote]

He did pass an affordable housing bill.

Are the new builds affordable? Environmentally sound?[/quote]

1. You will never build enough AH just by building committed AH with govt funds.  Market rate units mean more AH - because A. They can include IZ units B.  They draw affluent folks from older buildings, reducing demand for older buildings.   C.  They will eventually age and become cheaper D. They pay taxes which help fund the govt AH

2.  Building more units closer to jobs and to transit is the best thing localities can do for the climate. [/quote]

It's not a NIMBY position to Frederick residents.

[b]Actually moving jobs to Frederick would be the best thing to do.

Put jobs where people live not more homes where jobs currently reside.

Even jobs are moving out of the city. Don't know a single person that works in the city anymore. [/quote]

That's what Marc Elrich said. Is it a NIMBY position? Yes. Literally.

Putting more housing WHERE THERE ALREADY IS HOUSING (and other infrastructure) is the best thing to do. More housing in DC. More housing in Arlington. And more housing in close-in Montgomery County.[/quote][/quote]
