[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county needs more housing without more traffic; this is a win. MCPS needs to better use the capacity they have; that's on the BOE. Or something like that.[/quote]

Agree with this.  There is an order to things, not everything can be done at once.  That’s not a good use of everyone’s time.

Once plans are solid enough for the housing, the schools (etc) will also be planned.[/quote]

Except the schools in the areas most likely to be affected by this bill are, by and large, already overcrowded from past development without proper school planning/follow-through.  We shouldn't assume that paradigm will change without fixing the bill to ensure the services.[/quote]

No, they're overcrowded from turnover of existing housing. Though it's true that existing housing IS past development, if you go back enough years. School construction lagged behind housing development then, too, but eventually caught up, just in time for MCPS to close a lot of schools in the 1980s because the Baby Boom was over.[/quote]
