[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Rockville, voting for Floreen.[/quote]

She is in the pocket of Developers - so watch out if she wins.[/quote]

Yes, I like development.  I like things being built.  I don't want to live in a place where businesses and building are stopped.[/quote]

But do you want to live with the traffic, overcrowded schools, overtaxed public safety officials that can result without the proper infrastructure? [/quote]

The population of MoCo, MD, and the US in general is growing. People need a place to live.

Elrich's anti-development stance is making house unaffordable by placing too many limits on supply.[/quote]

Anyone calling Elrich "anti-development" is not looking very closely.  True, he's refused campaign contributions from developers (unlike Floreen who is being entirely funded by developers), but he's talked about having smart development moving in parallel with basic infrastructure i.e. not having hideously overcrowded schools and roads, which is our status quo.[/quote]

You make the mistake of believing we care about contributions from “developers”.  I didn’t build my house by hand.  We need developers.  Developers are not a bad thing.[/quote]

+1.  And Elrich's version of "smart development" is essentially no development because his demands (financial and otherwise) make it nearly impossible for any development to occur.[/quote]
