[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the way people on this forum talk bad about Rockville, I doubt many people posting here live in Rockville.  I think they should make people show ID and prove they are residents of the actual CITY of Rockville before allowing them to talk about how building is bad.[/quote]

I feel the opposite.

I live in Rockville and have kids in the RM cluster.  Anyone who has kids in the cluster (or really in any overcrowded MCPS school) probably doesn’t want a ton of extra housing units in their area.  [b]We know it leads to more students in the schools,[/b] which are already overcrowded and underfunded.

I think the people who are pushing for additional housing do not actually live in the area.

So does turnover of existing housing -- when people who no longer have kids in MCPS sell their homes to people who do (or soon will). In fact, turnover of existing housing is probably the major factor in most areas.

Saying new to new housing in an area is great in the short term for people who already live there and own their homes. We've got ours, don't let anybody else in, and our housing prices will be high when we sell! But it's terrible for people who don't live there yet but want to move there, and in the long run, it's terrible for the people who already live there. The east county has a building moratorium for 20 years. Was it good for the area? [/quote]

Such a ridiculous argument.

Turnover of current houses is much different than thousands and thousands of NEW housing units - which is what is happening at Twinbrook and at RTC.[/quote]
