[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with you OP.

I like this area the way it is.  We don’t need more development, especially when it comes with less green space.

I think that’s the issue for many people.  More development, but not better facilities (parks, libraries).

Why does the County want to pave over every speck of green space and cover it with high density housing?  People need trees and parks.[/quote]

That is why there needs to be more density where areas are already developed, to save the green space that everyone cherishes. Not everyone needs to live in a single family home. The most dense cities in the world barely have any. It is a very wasteful use of land.[/quote]

PP, no! People living in increasingly dense areas like Bethesda need green space too. What are we supposed to do? Drive up 270 to the Ag Reserve?  [/quote]

Weird that people in Bethesda don't think there are parks nearby - they are all over the place.

Norwood, Little Falls, Battery Lane, Elm Street, the park on Newdale - are you really not aware of all of these within comfortable walking distance of downtown?

Then there is the wasteful and inaccessible green space of the 3 country clubs in Bethesda.

But best of all once the Purple Line is done most of Bethesda will have a protected way to get to Rock Creek Park on foot/bike and well RCP is just massive.

So no you don't need to get on 270 to get to a park if you live in Bethesda - most likely you don't even need your car though obviously most people in Bethesda drive even to things they should be walking to because solving the worlds problems is for other people.
