[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in favor of measures to allow property owners to build more types of housing on their property. I don't expect my neighborhood to remain unchanged from the day it was laid out (or the day I moved here). I also don't think that the pinnacle of land use is owner-occupied single-unit-detached houses surrounded by other owner-occupied single-unit-detached houses. So no, I am not a peddler of fear.[/quote]

Well, we are all in this together! Unfortunately, there appears to be some disagreement about that.  Just to be fair to the residents of the county, we should very openly discuss how it should be implemented (if at all) and at what scale.  Once there are some options on the table, we should vote on them.  They (the county) already rushed the Thrive plan through and said to not worry our pretty little heads about it because it's just a plan to make a plan...well, now will come the time to flesh out the actual plans, and the county isn't going to shove that down anyone's throat without some voter feedback, I would hope.  They have two years to do their homework.[/quote]

Montgomery County isn't governed by referendum (with exceptions for charter amendments). And the Thrive plan was "rushed through" in...3 years? 4 years? It seemed like centuries. Regardless of their position on Thrive, anybody who wasn't completely sick of hearing about Thrive before the Council vote either didn't care at all or was dead.[/quote]

Are you high?

That garbage had more red flags than you could reasonably count, including those pointed out by people on the council, economists, and the consultants on diversity and racial equity that the thrive people hired…people simply wanted to wait until the new planning board came along and have a discussion then, but instead everyone just said, well…we know that it sucks, but whatevs.  Let’s get these photo ops going and worry about reality later.

Reality is here, and everyone needs to be held accountable.[/quote]
