[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Bethesda and work in DC.  I don't understand why we need ever greater density and more homes and more companies to come to the area.  The congestion is terrible and the strain on schools and public services is annoying.

Personally, I would be happier if we stayed flat or, better yet, some people moved away!

I'd be in favor of decreasing density. DC is already one of the most densely populated places in America. [/quote]

Density is not the problem - too many people driving is and there are lots of not very dense cities and metro areas that have horrible traffic.

The less dense areas in this region are the ones where traffic is the worst.

Traffic isn't that bad in DC proper or most of the close in suburbs but we could care less as we frequently go days without using our car though the aggressive driving and honking from frustrated MD drivers is a real quality of life issue - I've abandoned hope that any of these idiots will ever figure out that their life on the road is a little bit different than what was promised in the Subaru/Range Rover/Infiniti/Acura ads.[/quote]
