[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this goes here or in local politics...

But the public hearing for the Friendship Heights GEICO development is tomorrow. Sign up to testify or send written testimony: https://montgomeryplanningboard.org/agenda-item/october-23-2025/

They're seeking to remove the already approved office density and put in a new plan, and they are requesting a waiver of  stormwater management requirements

I live very nearby, but in D.C., not Maryland, so I don't get a say. But I'm all for more housing there instead of that office building. Would help keep the retail on Wisconsin Avenue in business, which has been a problem lately (and would help bring better retail that serves nearby residents rather than whatever the target audience for some of those stores has been). I don't care about traffic because I take Metro to work and my kids walk to school. [/quote]

Even if you walk, you should start caring because there are a lot of cars hitting pedestrians in Friendship Heights and that's directly related to increased traffic: pedestrians, bikes, and cars. Especially if you have kids[/quote]

Yes, I obviously don't want my kids or anyone else to be hit by a car, but I also don't think that's a reason to oppose needed housing developments.[/quote]
