[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AHS will be too late for the greedy developers. This region's population is about to decline, and hopefully the math stops working for them to build a multiplex on every inch of land they can get.[/quote]

They'll be happy to build with AHS/Friedson's legislation whenever it suits them.  MD HB 503/SB 430 will allow them even greater latitude.  All the legislators are rushing to get these through without due consideration.

In that respect, though not nearly as devastatingly, it's kind of the same as the approach on the other side nationally.  Politics over reasonable use of institutions meant to steer governmemt action to broad public benefit while ensuring protections on which that same public relies.[/quote]

It’s important to make sure that we make sure that everyone knows this is Friedson.

Friedson’s Folly. [/quote]

AHS is Harris & Sartori (Planning), but they were put in place by the Council.

Of the Council, Friedson and Fani-Gonzalez are the main drivers of AHS, with a healthy dose of Jawondo in there, too.  This is moving forward under the more or less direct guidance of the former two as the several bills collectively termed "More Housing N.O.W."  Jawondo is trying to position himself differently, where he can support it but say it isn't his baby, in the leadup to the next election.

22-24 is Glass.  With the complete buy in of the rest of the Council, of course.

HB 503/SB 430 is Governor Moore's requested state legislation.  Sponsors include several of the MoCo state delegation.  Montgomery Planning & the MoCo Council, along with developers, are salivating about it in private, and keeping mention of it under the covers in the hopes that it doesn't get noticed the way AHS did, with all the backlash from its deeply unpopular proposals/effects.[/quote]
