[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is true about Elrich:
- he's a nice guy
- he takes fiscal irresponsibility to the next level
- His views on land use and planning are horrifically regressive and harmful
- You'll be loathe to find anyone who works closely with him who thinks he should be re-elected[/quote]

How are his views regressive and harmful?  Please explain.[/quote]
He believes neighborhoods should be planned based on the preferences of the people who own homes there already, not based on the future needs or next generation of residents. Maybe that appeals to you. I actually care about my child's generation having places to live.

[quote]Neighborhood defenders in Silver Spring found a supporter in Marc Elrich, then an at-large council member who now serves as county executive and is running for re-election. In an October 2011 council discussion about Chelsea Heights, Elrich rejected the idea that the county needed to prioritize future residents’ housing needs.

“It’s all good and well to talk about everybody who’s coming here. The only problem is, we’re elected by people who actually live here,” Elrich said. “This idea that somehow, the most important thing for us to do is change the way things are to accommodate something in the future, seems a bit out of place.”[/quote]
