[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't look now, but Montgomery Planning is holding a hearing today on changes to zoning that would allow multiplexes just about everywhere inside the Beltway (along with other transport corrider areas).

Thread in local politics forum, here:

Great news, thank you for letting us know! I think it's high time we update the zoning that bans everything except uniplexes in most parts of the county.[/quote]

Indeed. This is *long* overdue. The housing crisis will continue to get worse unless we dramatically increase the supply.[/quote]

Love the overcrowded schools! [/quote]

[b]There’s plenty of schools that are not overcrowded.[/b] There might need to be sone redistribution but they will be fine. We are talking about kids with nowhere to live- would you rather they be on the streets? They will perform better in school if they have stable housing.  [/quote]

Not inside the beltway, where the greatest impact from the combination of the state bill and the Montgomery Planning proposal is likely to be.[/quote]

Whitman, BCC, and Springbrook serve areas inside the beltway and are not overcrowded.[/quote]

And there are elementaries within those pyramids that are overcrowded.  Even with a plethora of portables that take from playgrounds and the like.

And there is pretty much all of inside-the-beltway Silver Spring, where there ar no public high schools at all, and where the DCC high schools serving the area are, and will remain, overcrowded.  That area is the most likely to be impacted by the zoning change.

Springbrook essentially serves a sliver of outer NE Takoma Park, and is part of the NEC, not the DCC.[/quote]
