The rest of the county is not segregated thanks to MPDU's which the W's families have fought hard to keep out of their neighborhoods. [/quote]

No, that's not how the MPDUs work. You can't fight to keep MPDUs out of your neighborhood. You can fight to keep new residential development out of your neighborhood, which people have indeed done in Bethesda and Potomac, but also in other parts of the county. You can also fight to keep workforce housing or low-income housing out of your neighborhood, but that's not MPDUs -- and again, people have done this in other parts of the county as well (most recently Damascus, for example).[/quote]

Yes. Actually you can keep MPDUs out of your neighborhood and W people did it for years (all through the 90's). Then other areas showed a lopsided effect of more MPDUs east and north. Damascus and White Oak for example did not try to keep them out, they just asked for them to be equally distributed. [/quote]

No. The county regulation is that at least 12.5% of units in any new development with 20 or more units must be MPDUs. If there is any instance where the county allowed a development of 20 or more units without MPDUs, I don't know if it -- please provide information.

In Damascus, they weren't complaining about MPDUs specifically, but rather about housing for lower-income people in general. Woodfield Commons development was supposed to have 84 units, of which 11 were to be MPDUs, 64 were to be Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, and 9 were to be market rate. They didn't want the LIHTC units.
