They are largely squeezing the middle class here to pay for it. MoCo is catering to the rich and at the same time sticking their hand out to the middle class. The middle class gets high taxes, increased density and traffic, no new infrastructure or parks built neaf them  and a crappy education for the kids (but they took final exams away so your kids aren’t going to complain much) .
The rich get bused to great schools miles away from their home (because you can’t have traffic into the neighborhood - perish the thought!), taxes that they can afford , subsidized country clubs , no density or affordable housing built near them, etc etc.

[b]The middle class can afford to hit the road[/b] and I sure wouldn’t recommend that my kids settle here. [/quote]

To where?

And aren't the rich getting bused to MCPS schools, therefore also receiving a crappy education (according to you)?

I don't really think of "density" (aka multi-family housing) as something to flee from. I think of it as housing for people to live in, including people who are middle-class.[/quote]

When it takes you 30 minutes to drive 2 miles to get home after running a simple errand you might think differently about uncontrolled density being a great thing. [/quote]

But we don't have uncontrolled density. Also, 2 miles is a good biking distance. More people on bikes = fewer cars on the road.[/quote]
