[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Signed, a boomer that got their housing for 3 blueberries back in 1940 from a Sears catalog. Go talk to young people, even high earners, on how difficult it is to buy a house nowadays. [/quote]

Reading OP is fundamental.  Young people may have to make the very tough decision to not live in Arlington or Chevy Chase. They may have to: rent; commute from Gaithersburg (via the existing mass transit because climate); transfer jobs to Omaha; buy a condo in Arlington or Chevy Chase and live like most of Europe or NYC or urban Asia already does[/quote]

Or, the voters of Montgomery County might decide to elect elected officials who believe Montgomery County will be better off if Montgomery County is a place where young people want to and can afford to live, and enact housing, land use, and transportation policies accordingly.[/quote]

Translation:  upzone MoCo, make a whole bunch of crappy section 8 housing, import poverty, trash schools and watch as the entire county declines as people with money, who make up the lion's share of the tax base, [b]flee[/b].

Kinda hard to have so many progressive policies and plans when you no longer have people who'll pay for all of the free stuff and progress. [/quote]

Damn you, Poe's Law.[/quote]
