I agree with the need for mixed housing. Not everyone wants or needs to live in a huge house. [b]I'd be happy with a small apartment that fed into Churchill.[/b] Instead I am down county and in a small apartment to close the gap between FA and tuition at DD's private. Still cheaper than our second choice public after finding out we'd pay as much for an apartment in WJ's catchment as we were paying for a SFH in the DCC.[/quote]

But the people who live in Potomac do not want apartments in their neighborhoods.[/quote]

I purposely moved here because I want to live in a residential area with single family homes. I like how open it is, lots of parks and no congestion. There are plenty of places in Bethesda or Rockville if you need an apartment.  They looked into putting condos/apartments above Cabin John and that got squashed. Closest is Park Potomac which feeds into Richard Montgomery. Those condos go for $400K min though.

And Rockvile Town Center tried to do something like this and it was an epic failure.  I am curious how well North Bethesda development will do[/quote]

As I said -- there are no apartments in Potomac because the people in Potomac do not want apartments in their neighborhoods. Not to mention apartment-dwellers. People who can't afford a single-family house in Potomac should go live somewhere else. Now, what were we saying about residential segregation by income in Montgomery County?[/quote]
