[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the housing stock in Bethesda is not that "charming". There are also plenty of young families in these tear downs, these neighborhoods are filled with kids. People have money here (or their families do and are willing to help on down payments). I agree that some of the new mcmansions are terrible, but many times, the homes they are replacing were not that great to begin with. [b]I think it is better growth and development policy to encourage people to teardown rather than take build new in green space in the outer burbs.[/b][/quote] If you are worried about pushing people to the outer suburbs, shouldn't you support upzoning the parcels to allow THs? Having more units on them would keep more people closer in, closer to transit, etc - and people moving to THs are more likely AFAIK to be transit users than McMansion residents, and less likely to be wealthy (even new large luxury THs)[/quote]
