Be careful. They make the same arguments now. Families don't live in apartments! Developers don't need to fund schools! Millennials won't have many kids! [/quote]

"They" who? Who is actually saying that families don't live in apartments, developers don't need to fund schools, and millennials won't have many kids? (By the way, do you have any data on how many kids millennials are having?) I follow planning in Montgomery County pretty closely, and I have never actually heard or read anybody official saying any of those things, though I have heard and read many assertions that they do.[/quote]

It's hard to follow. Bruce Crespell, who recently left MCPS, was Head of Planning. [b]He made these statements[/b]. Then the MCPS piss-poor projections are passed on to County Planning and they follow the numbers. [/quote]

Where, when, and what documentation do you have for it? Given that he provided data on numbers of students in MCPS who live in apartments, it seems very hard to believe that he would ever say that families don't live in apartments.[/quote]

Fine. I was exaggerating the statements, but that's certainly the gist of what he said at community meetings. Had he listened to us, MCPS could have saved millions on poorly planned school additions. [/quote]
