[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't redistrict and bus people away from their communities you spread the housing out.
So, more low income housing spots in the upper income areas (spread out , not all in one spot otherwise you have a 'wrong side of the tracks' exclusion thing going on). Add some McMansion developments to lower income areas - they will come. There are plenty of liberal people who would move to such a neighborhood as long as it has what they need - easy access to public transportation, parks, shopping, community.

The only holdouts for this concept are the people of Potomac. They want no mixed housing, no ball fields, no schools, nothing. You have to wonder why the county is so afraid of them.[/quote]

Potomac has Tobeytown. There is no real estate available for urban type housing available as all is privately owned. And they really aren't near public transportation.  The buses have no where to go, move around and turn. I can barely drive down some roads. The bicyclists - ugh!   [/quote]

No, there's land. I grew up there. There's plenty of land but the people there are completely rabidly paranoid about even someone middle class moving in.
If you notice there are no buses that go anywhere near the real parts of Potomac. No movies, no fast food, no reasonable housing, no school, no fields, no rec center. They don't want you to come anywhere near Potomac and if you do they do not want you to linger.

They should just put a wall up. Leave Great Falls outside the wall but wall the rest up. [/quote]
