[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s put up all these high density homes in Potomac. Those two acre lots have plenty of space and there are ride on options.[/quote]

The 42 bus is not Metro, the Purple Line, or BRT, but I agree that duplexes by right would make a lot of sense.[/quote]

It’s cheaper to live along a bus line than right by the metro though.  Unfortunately anything in top of a metro station tends to be too expensive for those that need it the most.[/quote]

RideOn 42: https://montgomerycountymd.gov/DOT-Transit/routesandschedules/allroutes/route042.html

North Bethesda Station (White Flint)

Montgomery Mall

I remember, several years back, when there was a proposal to eliminate the 42 bus, and someone wrote a letter to say no, without the 42 bus, their housekeeper wouldn't be able to get to their house.

Duplexes by right would still be good, though. I don't know how it would pencil out, but I don't really care, because I'm not planning to build one; I will leave that up to the builders.[/quote]

DP. Clarification, here, along the lines of bus discussion.  Though the bill has sections allowing different higher-density affordable housing development across 1-mile passenger rail stop proximity, prior-state-owned land and nonprofit-owned land, the section that does away with adequate public facility considerations is not limited to those three situations.  If, for instance, MoCo's Thrive allows higher-density affordable housing development near BRT stops, and if that development garners federal or state low-income housing support, then approval of those developments, as well, will not be subject to adequate public facility (e.g., school capacity) considerations, as they get the specified funding support.[/quote]
