[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are actually voting for Ficker?!!

I'm voting for Elrich and hope Floreen doesn't win. And I don't live in Takoma/Silver Spring.

I think the development we currently have going on is already putting too many cars on the road and overcrowding schools. We need a much more thoughtful way to allow the county to grow than is in Floreen's sights as she is raking in so much money from developers.[/quote]

I'm 11:55.  This is an example of what I'm talking about, "developers" are bad according to this person.  Apparently all companies that build anything in Montgomery County are bad companies by this person's standard since they're all "developers".  These are straw-man arguments with no substance.  Every home started as some developers project.  What specifically do these people think is so bad that's being developed?  Crown Farm?  Clarksburg?  What?  They don't want to tell you because it's easier to say "developers" are the problem.  If some company converting a farm into a new housing development or some green space into a new shopping mall or adding a couple of lanes to the freeway is the big political hot button then you know Montgomery County has it good.  Almost every other county in the country would be pleased to have wider roads, more housing, and more businesses.[/quote]

Because developers make a lot of money building housing on former green space and then we end up with overcrowded roads and schools. The debate isn't over whether to more development but whether to make sure we have the road and school infrastructure in place first-- that's wht Elrich means when he talks about staged development.

Nancy might as well drive a damned bulldozer around town so that she can steam right over our green space and trails herself.[/quote]

Sign me up for this.  Anything for good jobs.  Number one goal should be to stop losing to nova.[/quote]

Nova actually has more parks and a better distribution of them. Nova doesn’t use a sanctuary city business model to enrich developers and other large businesses. When you buy a house or refinance one in nova someone doesn’t put a stamp on it and demand $8000-$20,000 up front but Nancy does! 
It’s probably best to just move to NoVa. [/quote]
