[quote=Anonymous]We saved, were financially responsible and purchased our single family home in Bethesda. We valued our quite neighborhood, our local school, walkability and the fact this was not a cookie cutter home. It’s not a large home, and we see it as part of an investment to us as a family, for our children.
We did this when we could afford it, and accommodated to the area and the realities of what it took to live here. If we could not afford it, we would not have picked this home and would have settled down elsewhere. 
Areas have value for the characteristics they have. To me, this is the Council saying they have carte blanche to destroy the value in established neighborhoods.
We are near the DC border and there are a good number of apartment buildings and condos that would be appropriate selections for residents who would like a more attainable housing option. If those are out of budget, then that is called living within your means. You then go and find a place that you can afford, you are responsible to your budget and to society. For the life of me, I don’t understand why touching our area and ruining it with this nonsense has a benefit at all. [/quote]
