BS!!!!!!!!  Why are you so obsessed with changing the character of certain neighborhoods, when those residents do not want to change the character.  You clearly need to get a life!!!!  [b]MC is big enough for all types of housing. [/b] There is plenty of space.

Well, yeah, that's kind of the point of Thrive's recommended housing policies, isn't it? Lots of different types of housing, in lots of different places.[/quote]

No, Thrive will alter the character of SFH areas, reducing those the size of those areas.[/quote]

Again, Thrive is recommending policies to promote lots of different types of housing in lots of different places. That includes neighborhoods where currently only single-unit detached residential buildings are allowed.

If you moved into a neighborhood expecting nothing in the neighborhood to ever change, well, I'm sorry, but that's not how the world works. Even if Thrive went POOF tomorrow, your neighborhood would still change.[/quote]

Residents living in single unit detached houses want that kind of neighborhood.  That is what made the County an attractive place to live for a large portion of its residents. If your eliminate that, some will move.  Thrive will drive middle class families out of the County.  I have seen no justification for Thrive on this thred.  None.  The County has plenty of underutilized commercial land.  Go elsewhere.[/quote]
