[quote=Anonymous]They should be doing the opposite. The county is so anti-business that it's driving employers away. Not all jobs can be WFH, and the result is MoCo residents have to commute outside the county to get to work. When you end up converting commercial to residential, it usually means you failed. Look at Rock Spring just next to Montomery Mall (Home Depot side). The car dealership (now Geico collision center) will convert to housing. The plots of land just over teh overpass (across from Marriot HQ) now have townhouses -- because they couldn't make commercial work. All these new residents need commercial services. All these new residents need to be employed and often go to work. Where is this going to happen if we get rid of all the commercial space? MoCo is already a "bedroom' community enough.[/quote]
