[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the old houses being torn down and brand new houses being built in their lots, with the new houses much bigger (twice or more square-foot area compared to old houses they are replacing) and the price tag for each new house is $1.5 mil to $2.5 mil, you know who is promoting economic segregation.  It is the regulatory authorities who give permit to build much larger houses in the same land area (lot), the builders who want to make money by building and selling much larger houses, and the wealthy people who buy these houses to stay away from lower income people, and finally the owners of the old houses who sell their houses to builders without even putting the house on the market to let the highest bidder buy the house (in which case a moderately higher income family will be able to buy that old house).  There must be a nexus/cabal actively pursuing self interest at the expense of the rest of us.

I find Montgomery County building practices to be anything but progressive.  Where I came from, the ratio of a house area to the lot area can't exceed a certain number.  Unless the building permit law is changed in Montgomery County, you will continue to see economic segregation practiced unabated. [/quote]

This. Housing policy absolutely has a direct impact on schools. Where are they putting all the affordable apartment buildings in the area? THey're certainly not putting them near the Ws. [/quote]
