[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the question. 
For a place that elects politicians that are so pro-egalitarianism why is there so much income inequality. I’ve seen Potomac and I’ve seen the slummy apartments in Wheaton and Silver Spring and the Soviet high-rises in White Oak. [/quote]

Why is virtually all of the low-income housing built in the eastern part of MoCo and never in Bethesda or Potomac?[/quote]

Why would someone want to build low income housing in Potomac/Bethesda when they could build traditional housing and make more money?

Some places are expensive..deal with it. Life ain't always fair. I want to live on the beach in Tortola, but here I am in Bethesda.[/quote]

If you build in Potomac/Bethesda, you have to build "low income" housing. For example, the WMAL development in Bethesda has or will have 40 Moderately Priced Dwelling Units.

I don't know what "traditional housing" is.

Some places are expensive because of housing and land use regulations. Housing and land use regulations can be changed.[/quote]
