[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Kensington. Albornoz lives in Parkwood, is his neighborhood exempt?[/quote]
Kensington does not have its own independent planning permission. However, a portion of Kensington is historically protected. Same with Garrett Park. Downtown Kensington is considerd a small growth center in Thrive, but Connecticut is a growth corridor. So neighborhoods like Chevy Chase View could see changes but not Parkwood. Like Garrett Park, a transit density overlay would not apply to Kensington because the area around the train station is historically protected.[/quote]

It really disgusts me that Albornoz has no chance of getting a quadplex next door to his big, beautiful house. The council is completely corrupt.[/quote]
His house would be totally protected. His neighbors on Connecticut could get up-zoned though.

Most likely areas to get upzoned first would be within a mile adjacent red and purple line stops and edge neighborhoods near the large growth centers, e.g. downtown Bethesda, downtown Silver Spring, Wheaton, and White Flint. It is interesting how these decisions have been made. For example, Old Georgetown Rd was not a growth corridor, despite connecting downtown Bethesda to Pike and Rose, but Randolph Rd and University Blvd are. Kind of gives the game away.[/quote]

Whatever happened with Friedson trying to protect all of River Road? I live in District 1 and he's our rep but never did anything for his inside the Beltway constituents, only for his Potomac friends. I know our neighborhood will be upzoned immediately. It ticks me off since our lots are so small. I'm sure they'll concrete in the front yard for parking even after all this talk about walkability. [/quote]
Friedson is a manchild that lacks leadership qualities and as a result is incapable of representing his constituents. Seems to prefer spending his time sucking up to Takoma Park and Silver Spring residents. Just totally and completely ineffectual and unfortunately we are probably stuck with him for 8 more years because his gravy train, Franchot, won’t be governor.[/quote]

I totally agree he is a manchild, but he doesn't suck up to Silver Spring residents that's for sure.

Try to get this level of responsiveness from him on a matter important to his district that doesn’t involve sucking up to theses awful urbanist/cyclist types. Let me know how it goes. But the real proof of his incompetence is his inability to protect his own turf, eg River Rd and redistricting. He’s done a poor job representing both his district and even more amazingly his own interests.

He also just loves to suck up to another Silver Spring guy who regularly calls all his constituents racist. Now go and check his communication with actual constituents. You’ll have a hard time finding any and when he does it’s typically adversarial.
