That said, I said this before that I am a single-issue voter on environmental policy. I find the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate report (that says we have twelve years to change our ways) to be more concerning and I prioritize lowering emissions over absolutely everything else. Based on this, I was 85% leaning Elrich with the 15% hesitation because of the urbanist argument that his housing policies might promote sprawl. However, Elrich clarified his "anti-density" position as in favor of a variety of units, for families and singles, instead of mainly one bedroom and studio apartments which are more "dense." I am categorically against adding more roads, expanding roads or anything that incentivizes people to drive. I favor companies that allow teleworking above all. [/quote]

I understand your point, but do you think that's going to work for upcounty, especially in the Agricultural Reserve Area? It's lovely up there but it's also very spread out. Is public transportation really a viable alternative to driving?

Heck, we live in Bethesda and the Ride-On bus in front of our house runs only on weekdays. If you want to go somewhere after 7pm on weekdays, or any time during the weekend, you're out of luck. We're not in the boondocks of Bethesda either -- about 1.5 miles away from Bethesda Metro.
