This is making national news. Here they point out the irony of a solidly blue district being against affordable housing in their neighborhoods...[/quote]

I don’t care if they raze my neighbor’s SFH and put up a multistory building, but there needs to be basic infrastructure that accompanies an increase in housing stock.  Many of the neighborhoods where building is most likely to occur already have very overcapacity schools and big traffic snarls. [b] If MoCo made corresponding investments in building new schools and adding buses[/b], they might find people to be more amenable to these changes.[/quote]

They're doing both.[/quote]

they’re not doing it in a way that keeps up with the needs for basic infrastructure.  There are about 40 overcapacity schools in MoCo and traffic is terrible and as a regular bus user, I can say that the MoCo bus system is far inferior to what I had in DC[/quote]
