[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]good. the whole thing was just designed to make it harder to develop denser/more affordable housing. [/quote]

Is there a big need for that in CC?[/quote]

There's a big need for it everywhere.  Why should CC be exempt?[/quote]

Why is there a need for it “everywhere?”

Seems like there are plenty of areas to increase density where it would be less difficult and more welcome.  Why waste all of that time and money?  Is it just punitive?[/quote]

Because there is a housing shortage generally.

Where do you think it would be "less difficult" and "more welcome"?  Wheaton?  Silver Spring?

I think what you mean is, there are plenty of areas to increase density where local residents have less money and political clout than they do in CC.

Again:  Why should CC be exempt from developing denser/more affordable housing?[/quote]

Why do you think the new housing would be affordable?

[/quote]

DP...because the city owns the land and can mandate the level of affordability.[/quote]
