[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ag Preserve is here to stay. Modifying it is a non-starter. The East Coast has been razed for sprawl and dumb/no urban planning. The Virginia side is sprawl with winding suburban roads as far as Google maps can see. Here Montgomery County did something smart:set aside a green lung of low(er) intensity land-use, and focus on smart development on the already urbanized areas. This is akin to Colorado protecting its mountains from development. Much higher order of priority is upzoning close-in suburbs like Bethesda that are less than an hour to downtown DC. No need to create a “drive till you qualify” real estate Ponzi scheme situation with the poorer workers driving 2+ hours to work[/quote] Sure, upzoning is way more convenient because it doesn’t involve any planning or foresight at all. Just throw things at the wall and see what sticks no matter the mess it makes in the process.[/quote]
