[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are missing what brought us to live out here in the first place.
 I love our expansive, multi acre lot. I love living among other people who value this, surrounded by families and people who value space, privacy, serenity, beautiful construction, everybody in our neighborhood takes impeccable care of their homes and their lots, and there is true safety and prosperity in our corner of Potomac.

I don’t want it ruined, simply so you guys can give a kick back to developers in an effort to alleviate the overcrowding in Silver Spring. It’s a hot mess and it won’t fix anything. [/quote]

Nice false-flag troll post, YIMBY.

The plan doesn't include those Residential Estate ("RE") zoned properties in wealthier Potomac, nor does it count the River Road corridor outside the beltway.  It will further crowd Silver Spring because of the many detached SFH neighborhood properties there that haven't been substantially improved the way that nearly all the properties in Bethesda & Chevy Chase (and the small bits of Potomac to which the very lightest of the plan's affects apply) have been over the past 3 decades.  Those improvements make purchase of the properties in wealthier areas relatively prohibitive vs. risk-adjusted return, especially for anything slap-dash.  For SS, the greater availability of less improved properties, the lower acquisition cost there, generally, the plan's allowance for lot consolidation with the greater likelihood of a neighboring property being amenable to sale, the likely lower cost of pattern book adherence in those neighborhoods, and the greater willingness of buyers/renters looking in that area to live in a less-than-high-end domicile will offer substantial opportunity for greater risk-adjusted return with quick-build turnaround.[/quote]
