[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, if you don’t like this area’s growth then help contribute and move out of the area please. Smart growth means building infrastructure ahead of the anticipated growth. Other than that, growth is inevitable for an area like DC metro. Drive south and west beyond PW and Loudoun counties and you already see those next counties looking like PW and Loudoun did 20 years ago. It is coming and it is unstoppable. Just have to deal with it.

Why do the people who want change get to determine who stays and who goes?  Shouldn't the people who have lived here longer have more influence than the people who you want to welcome?[/quote]

Nope. We're equal. [/quote]

But you don't treat those with concerns equally.  You tell them "It's my way, or the highway!"  Your vision for our area is no more valid or correct than those who want to limit growth.[/quote]

You: I don't think that more housing should be built for the people who are moving here.
Me (not the PP): I think that more housing should be built for the people who are moving here.

It's not really possible to compromise on that, is it? I mean, if you wanted to talk about where the housing should or shouldn't be built, or what kind of housing it should or shouldn't be, that would be one thing. But if your position is that there shouldn't be any more housing (maybe you're hoping that if there isn't any more housing, then people won't move here), I really don't know how to reach agreement with you.[/quote]
