[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always found it funny how "smart growth" advocates are usually wealthy homeowners themselves (who want to make money from house flipping and/or investment properties they could get from upzoning policy)[/quote]

And I always found it funny that growth opponents are usually already older homeowners that don't care about affordable housing because of a "I got mine" mentality.

Did I say funny? I meant selfish.[/quote]

I remember when there were actually open lots growing weeds all summer. During the pandemic, some areas have not been cut, like in the medians, etc. I've actually pointed it out to my kids and said, "That's what it used to be like in Bethesda before every square inch had a building on it." I also find it relaxing when a building in downtown is torn down and you can see a slice of the blue sky with clouds, before the next high rise goes up in its place. I wish we had more open spaces, not less.

I don't own a house, and I am against development. I don't think your assessment is accurate and seems pretty shallow and glib. If only it were that easy to write off the opposition like that, PP.[/quote]
