[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Who is the “they” in your question?  [/b]Bethesda is just a geographic area. There is no Bethesda government. Some neighborhoods do have covenants that prohibit tear downs. [b]But the housing stock is pretty old. Some of these houses need to be torn down.[/b] [/quote]

[b]"They" is MoCo government.

"They" have the power to impose housing regulations.

For the most part, they do not.
[/b]
Hence:  Teardowns, McMansions, and socioeconomic segregation.

RE old housing stock needing to be torn down, those who live in charming towns and villages in e.g. New England would beg to differ.[/quote]

NP.  That is the person you quoted's point.  Bethesda does not have a government, or historic district like Rockville, Gaithersburg, Frederick and other towns have.  The county is the only point of regulations and they [b]do not care if there is a charming home is being destroyed. [/b]  [/quote]

PP, it sounds like you need to live in DC, in a historic preservation district, where aesthetics is controlled by a quasi-government board.  But if you stay in Bethesda, please get it through your thick skull that one person's "charming home" is another person's outdated eyesore that is not well suited for modern life.  You do not get to dictate aesthetic preferences to your neighbors.  If you like the houses so much, buy them, keep them as is and rent them out.  [/quote]

You have issues, and are replying to multiple people.  I did not stay in Bethesda.  It's an ugly area with too many people (who mainly have attitudes like yours).

"well suited for modern life"  :lol: [/quote]

I replied to you, the dolt who made the comment about "charming homes being destroyed."  Unless you have multiple personalities, that reply was to one person.

What about "well suited for modern life" is difficult for you?  Just like houses built in the 1870s were not well suited, without substantial and costly modification, for life in the 1940s, houses built in the 1940s were not well suited for life in the 2010s, and beyond.  [/quote]
