[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it extremely rich the county rolls out the red carpet for massive amounts of undocumented migration and then complains later on about a 'housing crisis!'.  Why exactly should American citizens upend our way of life and our housing we worked extremely hard to own because there are thousands upon thousands of affordable housing units that already exist but are gobbled up by undocumented migrants?  You can't manufacture a crisis then demand our citizens ruin their way of life because foreign nationals are here illegally and consuming massive quantities of housing.

How about removing people here illegally first, then evaluating the housing stock once huge quantities are freed up for our actually citizens?

The county continually makes problems and comes up with solutions that make everything worse. Rinse and repeat until we are all equally in the gutter.  I'm so glad we are moving at breakneck speed to be a county entirely of renters beholden to our corporate landlords.  The only progress progressives are making is hitting the middle class and making us all slaves to landlords and investors. [/quote]

Our population growth rate now is lower than when a 1960 suburb was built.  If we absorbed that, we can absorb today. In fact, we should absorb more, for strategic and economic reasons.[/quote]

Certainly, in a well planned manner in areas zoned for it.

For example, why are we wasting valuable time fighting about this ridiculous want for upzoning residential when the county could be zoning the Sears complex in White Oak for residential/commercial?  Instead of finding a new anchor, they should bulldoze it and build. [/quote]

Sure White Flint too, with bonus metro access.

[b]This was an idyllic post-slavery rural county[/b] that greedy developers turned into little SFH enclaves (with racially restrictive covenants). And greedy developers will turn it into something else next. [/quote]

:shock: [/quote]

What is so shocking about that?[/quote]

If you don't know what is so shocking about the assertion that Montgomery County was "an idyllic post-slavery rural county" until the greedy developers showed up, I certainly won't be able to explain it to you.[/quote]

Maybe you don't realize that it's critical of nostalgia. Something like 40% of the county was enslaved. This was a rural county run by the landowning (former slaveowning) interests until the suburbs came. [/quote]
