[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to Mink, Jawando, and Katz for voting against the UBCP plan. Not that it will mean anything in the long run.

I've been seeing a lot of comments on social media supporting Friedson for county executive. Are these bot posts? Developer shills? People cannot be serious about this guy.

Ah yes, the families that want more houses and apartments are all "developer shills".

You people and your silly conspiracy theories are no better than trump.[/quote]

This is nothing but gentrification in disguise, no matter how much they try to Trojan horse it in progressive bona fides.

I look forward to Friedson and Fani-Gonzalez getting soundly defeated in the next election. [/quote]

Gentrification will happen either way. Do you want Bethesda-style mansions or vaguely affordable townhomes?[/quote]

If I have to pick one, definitely mansions.  Is this a real question?[/quote]

OK, but you'd be wrong.[/quote]

That’s dumb.  Your logic is dumb.

Either you are hopelessly altruistic or totally self-serving, depending on where you are on the economic scale.

Mansions help a small number of rich people, while denser units provide more affordable housing to a larger number of people, putting less burden on roads north of the area.[/quote]

No, what you’re doing is pushing people who want to own homes further north, so you end up with the same burden on roads near UB and more burden north of the area. In the best realistic case, you’ll get some apartments produced near UB but at the expense of less production in established dense areas.

There’s no question the new zoning will make the land near UB more expensive. If your plan makes land more expensive, you’re not for cheaper housing. You’re just for more expensive land. [/quote]

Does the county have any plans for the dead areas on 29 north of Tech Rd./ICC entrance? Seems like there’s a ton of empty space there and plenty of Metrobus options.[/quote]

Where? Tech Rd/White Oak has a big development going in.[/quote]
