[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]David Blair is still Empower Montgomery, along with Washington Property Company, largest developer in Montgomery County, although the website now tries to hide that connection. Understanding the need for new housing in the county doesn't mean you want your next door neighbor to sell to a developer who will erect a garden apartment in the middle of a SFH neighborhood, which is where Riemer and Jawando want to go with R60 and even R90 neighborhoods- and they're both huge NIMBYs. I'd have to hear specifics from Blair about what development projects he wants to see in the county before I would commit to voting for him. The council is always bought by developers, and they will always rubberstamp whatever zoning developers want. They unfortunately also focus on that rather than trying to promote an economy in MoCo that is not dependent on construction. Blair needs to start talking to us more about plans for the economy outside plans for development.[/quote]

Oh noes, duplexes and fourplexes in a single-family-detached neighborhood, where will it all end.

I don't like Riemer's personality, and I'm not super-impressed with Jawando, but they're not NIMBYs. If you want a NIMBY candidate, you will have to find somebody else.[/quote]

I think the definition of NIMBY is deciding to change the character of other people's neighborhood because it will advance your political career. In the meantime, he gets to keep his big SFH. That is Jawando to the core. I'm not interested in duplexes and fourplexes in my neighborhood. So sue me.[/quote]

I think the definition of pizza is a baked good made with butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips. So sue me.[/quote]
