Development is fine, but it should be managed to mesh with traffic, schools, etc.  That isn't happening.  [/quote]

In other words, mobility and school capacity should improve as population increases.

Nobody disagrees with this idea.[/quote]

Sure, but it hasn't happened, which falls on the County council and to a degree MCPS.  The Council appears to favor developers in this way.  [/quote]

In what way? This only favors developers if your opinion is that development must never proceed unless there are mobility improvements and school capacity increases. We know what happens with a development moratorium, and it's nothing good:  http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/23748/in-white-oak-the-regions-east-west-divide-becomes-an-urban-suburban-one/

Also, people often use "developer" as a synonym for "the bad guys". Who built the neighborhood you live in?[/quote]

You finally might get the point.  yes there shouldn't be development if schools and roads and infrastructure aren't built along with it.

You also point out a false choice.  the choices aren't development without schools/roads/etc OR no development.  There is a third option and it's the one above.  Build them all; homes, commercial, roads, schools, etc.  If the CC won't force all to be built at once then no development.  Instead we get development and overcrowded roads, overcrowded schools, etc... [/quote]
