[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all 30 pages but the people who seem most passionately against this are from Wheaton, Silver Spring and Bethesda. I just can't imagine anyone in Potomac, Poolesville, or Darnestown even caring about this issue. Rockville is in its own war with developers so they aren't supporting it.

[b]It just doesn't seem like anyone who owns/lives in Montgomery County is for it.[/b] Is this just coming from developers or renters?[/quote]

Plenty of people who live in Montgomery County are for it, including people who own their homes.

Note that the ADU regulation has no benefit for developers, because [b]it requires the owner to live on the property[/b].[/quote]

Again, impossible/very difficult to enforce.  It's not as if housing enforcement officers are going to do a stakeout outside these rentals to prove that the owner lives on property.

The illegal rentals in our neighborhood definitely do not have an owner living on property. [/quote]

Very easy to enforce. The tax records show whether the property is your primary residence. You can look that up in the state property tax database.[/quote]
