[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most disingenuous things that the YIMBYs are currently doing (looking at you Evan Glass) is trying to associate the opponents of this free for all residential zoning with people that generally object to building housing altogether, which is silly, of course.

I think that most everyone would be a proponent of building properly planned and zoned housing.  To say otherwise is creative fiction.[/quote]

+100. I have made this point twice already on just this thread and each time it is met with bemusement.[/quote]

+1  Like the Bethesda "attainable" housing push right now.  Why doesn't Bethesda use the word "affordable" housing, which has an actual definition of who qualifies for housing and which could actually benefit the community at large? Because that's not what developers want to build--they just want to push through the most profitable new developments even if there's inadequate infrastructure in place to manage the additional traffic and the overcrowding of schools.[/quote]

The developers jumped off the affordable housing train as soon as people caught on that nothing they were doing was resulting in more affordable housing. We do need more market rate housing but no subsidies for it, please. [/quote]
