The SFH is also an aspiration. In my view, the MoCo council is telling me all the work I put into moving my family into my SFH neighborhood is worthless. Because someone else cannot do it, what I achieved has no merit at all. And they will partner with developers to destroy our communities.

It’s the ultimate destruction of wealth under a flag of equity, which shows the incompetence and lack of qualification this local government has.

I am not affluent and worked to become a home owner. This is an investment for our family and what we are leaving our children or hoping to sustain us in old age. I am not asking the MoCo Council for a handout but rather to respect and uphold the freedom to build a future. This imposition in neighborhoods is disrespectful and begs the big question to be asked: Why are you disrupting instead of building true prosperity for MoCo. Are developers more important than your constituents? Why are you punishing homeowners that pay YOUR SALARY?

Boy, there sure is a lot of talk about "destruction of neighborhoods" here. When I think of destruction of neighborhoods, I think of the flooding in central Europe. I don't think of legalizing duplexes.[/quote]

That is a natural disaster, this is a disaster by way of government incompetence. However, with this increased density we can expect infrastructure that cannot withstand the influx; and problems like the ones faced by cities like Houston. The flooding there has come, in part, by additional density and struggling infrastructure.[/quote]

The topic is: what constitutes destruction of neighborhoods.

The flooding in Houston is due to sprawl and loose environmental regulations.[/quote]

Nearly 30% of all homes are now bought by investment firms.  This will increase with these kinds of proposals. Why don't you go read investigative pieces on areas that have been completely bought out by investment groups and Blackrock?  There are many examples of neighborhoods in the South and the sun belt all bought out by huge investors.  It is ruination of the entire neighborhood.  Middle class owners eventually get squeezed out from owning anything and get transformed into permanent renters.  The quality of housing goes to ass and the the neighborhood gets destroyed.

This is what the lapdogs of Black Rock and major developers on the council are bringing to the county.  Complete ruination of middle class neighborhoods. They will replace families from owning homes with corporate overlords who'll run slums and raise the rent whenever they feel like it.  In the end it won't solve anything except lining the pockets of corporations more while the middle class in MoCo gets even worse quality housing stock for even higher prices. [/quote]
