[b]Right now you can rent an apartment in downtown Bethesda[/b] and Silver Spring for $1,300. There are currently thousands of housing units ready for deliver and most of those buildings are massive so that they will eat up all spare demand in that segment probably for a year or two. What happens in two years if financing conditions tighten? This is why people were saying that bigger is not better. Allowing the massive buildings creates conditions where you have the large buildings next to underdeveloped lots and in some cases surface parking lots. [/quote]

Link, please.

And yes, sometimes you're going to have big apartment buildings next to things that aren't big apartment buildings. There's nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
Because you are incapable of doing your own housing market research.

Related to your second point, you're wrong. It is a very big problem and contrary to proper urban planning.

A few other options in downtown Bethesda, in case you are looking to move.

Aldon is selling to HOC, did you know that?

No, it's not contrary to "proper urban planning" to have big apartment buildings next to things that aren't big apartment buildings.[/quote]
That is not relevant.

If you read the link, it clearly spells out how a 16 story building next to a parking lot inhibits growth and development. There are plenty of examples in our community.[/quote]
