[quote=Anonymous]My goodness, the development-apologist YIMBY faction is out in force on this.  Lots of political accounting that would never fly from a proper bugetary perspective.  Plenty of logical fallacies in the political rhetoric employed to divert from reasoned analysis.

Sad thing is that this lets-go-to-the-state end-around of community interests, and all the under-serviced ills it will produce, is almost a slam dunk in Annapolis, and there will be no legal challenge, if there was any basis for such, from the Montgomery County Council, as they've wanted much of this for their special interests for quite some time, but faced more directly-aware opposition of the county populace when such has been brought up.  That despite being able to forge ahead on "Thrive," the similar effects of which would be compounded via the state-proposed mechanisms.

Happy pocketing of those hard-earned lobbying $.  Your efforts will create profitable development with infrastructure deficits.  The poor folks who "benefit" from the added housing will find out only afterwards that they live in communities that can't provide for them, and that the governmental structures that were supposed to be in place to prevent that happening were undercut for the purpose of that profit, using the housing need as an excuse, supplanting any [i]real[/i] solutions that would not have kneecapped infrastructure -- those were just too costly to be politically palatable.

Of course, those of us actually living in the to-be-affected areas already know this.  We'll bear the brunt of it, as the new housing isn't for our benefit, but we'll be dealing with that infrastructure deficit just the same.

And enjoy your own abode, wherever that may be, where, I'm guessing, you don't have children of your own affected, don't care to live in an SFH community or do, but in one of the more exclusive spaces that won't be impacted.  We don't like being given the short end of the stick by your ilk, but we're used to it.[/quote]
