I’d like some evidence that he has taken leadership to promote development in his neighborhood, Takoma Park. Great platform for a guy to buy a house in a historic district and then go around the county forcing developers on everywhere else while his neighborhood and backyard is immune. Even for development like Takoma Junction, which is just a tiny retail building, he won’t even stand up in his own community and say that this is necessary. Conspicuous silence. [/quote]

The City of Takoma Park has its own planning authority. The people who ultimately make the planning decisions in Takoma Park are the Takoma Park City Council, not the Montgomery County Council.[/quote]
[b]If he deeply believed in this, then he would try to convince his neighbors of its importance. [/b]Why has he remained silent on the biggest issue in his community which is directly relevant to his entire schtick?[/quote]

I'm not a Riemer supporter, but that's an oversimplification.[/quote]
If he won’t show leadership in his own neighborhood with his own community and his own neighbors then he is tacitly supporting their NIMBYism. [/quote]

Or he's just generally demonstrating his lack of leadership on issues he ought to be leading on. Which actually is my objection to him. [/quote]

Riemer is a landlord in Takoma Park. Keeping housing scarce in that area helps his bottom line.[/quote]
Figures. When you peel the onion on this guy he just gets worse and worse.[/quote]
