How is housing a choice?  It seems to me that most land has already been purchased by private owners.  When the private person sells, they want what the market will bear.  How could the county step in to mix housing?  How would they afford it?[/quote]

The county's housing policy affects housing segregation/integration in at least three ways:

1. Master plans
2. Zoning
3. Requirements for Moderately Priced Dwelling Units (MPDUs)

This isn't theoretical, either. This is actual reality.[/quote]

Ok.  But that still doesn't answer how the county is going to create affordable housing in areas where there is no land to be purchased.  Where in Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac, can the county buy a parcel of land and zone it for affordable housing?  There's no land for sale except for individuals selling their homes.  The exception to that would be the White Flint redevelopment.  I know there is supposed to be a new elem school built, but if have no idea what the percentage of affordable housing is going to be or what HS that community will be zoned for.
