[quote=Anonymous]No one has said that Wheaton is on its way. up at all. Development is NOT booming and gang activity is a real problem. Its a VERY bad sign that all the development is going into Bethesda, close in Rockville and close-in Potomac. The areas in the east are basically being abandoned.

IMO the County Council did things in the wrong order. Back before the 2009 boom, Silver Spring could have taken off BUT the County Council put in place a moratorium in building until it could add more transit which made Howard County so attractive for industry and new homes. So now we have more buses which no one with families really use anyway and the ICC which is the most useless empty highway ever built. There is nothing in the east for people in the west and nothing in the west for people in the east. Dumb. Now after years of "prioritizing the east" but doing things that in the end held it back, all the developers are green lighted into the already expensive area with great schools.

Others in the DCC need to get some smarts fast.  Getting a few kids out of Einstein will not make as big a difference as you hope. What needs to happen is attracting development and industry into the east. The county needs to get tough on the gang problem in Silver Spring and Wheaton not pretend it isn't here. [/quote]
