[quote=Anonymous][quote]They need to build affordable housing in the west part of the county. Subsidized garden style apartments. That will diversify the schools. No need to bus.[/quote] This only works in area with good public transportation. Creating section 8 garden style apartments in western Potomac where the residents would need a car to get to work, services, and healthcare isn't going to work. Bethesda areas near the Metro are all already locked up. Do you recommend using eminent domain to seize some of the property near the Bethesda metro to use as section 8 housing? Doubtful. Even if you did support this, the county doesn't have the money to buy the land. Even in other areas that have a mix of section 8 and UMC houses like some areas of Rockville and downtown Silver Spring, developer pressure is too high and the existing section 8 housing is likely to get pushed out. Since Montgomery has no tax revenue from businesses it depends on the developers. [/quote]
