[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s crazy is deciding that some property owners have more rights than other property owners. I should have a right to enjoy the single family house I purchased. Some of the illegal apartments in my neighborhood are okay, others are terrible. Behind me is an illegal apartment and the ceiling is very low. There’s no parking to start with but now they’ve added multiple vehicles. [/quote]

There are a sh$t ton of options in this area for people who prefer living in an area with high density housing.  MoVo is close to DC if people want an urban environment.  Parts of Bethesda and Rockville have been developed to be more urban.

On the flip side, there is a huge shortage of SFHs for this of us hi want more ‘space’ and don’t want to live directly on top of our neighbors.

This is a terrible idea.  [/quote]

If you consider a basement apartment in a single-family house with a yard as high-density or urban housing, then your definitions of the terms are evidently very very very different from mine.

Also, 82% of land in Montgomery County (excluding City of Rockville and City of Gaithersburg) is either protected open space (35%) or restricted to detached single family houses (48%). So I disagree that there's a huge shortage of detached single-family houses in Montgomery County. [/quote]
