I appreciate your concern for my home's equity, but my greater concern is all the high density housing projects that are littering the county.  The impact of massive overdevelopment on our schools and roads will become much more acute in the coming years. The bleeding of good paying jobs and high earning households to more economically friendly neighborhoods in NoVA and years of budget mismanagement by MoCO and MD will inevitably transfer the burden of accommodating the exploding population of lower class migrants on the taxpayer shoulders.

Could you please provide some examples of these "high density housing projects" that are "littering the county"? I don't think I understand what you're referring to.[/quote]

You've got to be kidding right?  Crown Farm is one example of many.

How many single family house (not townhouse)  communities are currently being constructed?[/quote]

Crown Farm is a high-density housing project? I don't think of 337 townhouses, 60 single-family detached houses, 1149 multi-family units, and 257,400 square feet of commercial uses on 88 acres as "high density". Or "housing project". We must have different definitions.

This is where I got my numbers from: http://www.crownfarm.org/[/quote]

Admittedly they're not building high rise clusters on Crown, but the housing stats you just cited prove my point.  Unlike Bethesda and Wheaton where the multi-family skyscrapers are popping up, Crown Farm isn't within walking distance from a metro either.  The "proposed" CCT system is merely a justification to shove more multi-family housing into the far suburbs.[/quote]
