[quote=Anonymous][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.

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

The County is trying to be more 'immigrant friendly' and [b]passed this law to allow for more 'affordable housing' for immigrants. [/b]

Also, landlords are already seeing huge benefits from the lack of housing code enforcement because they are able to openly flaunt the rules.  There is a TON of money to be made in the county with these illegal rentals.  The owners themselves don't live in Wheaton/Silver Spring etc, so they don't care what it does to the neighborhoods and schools.  [/quote]

No, that's factually incorrect.

Also, why would a landlord who already openly flouts the rules even care about another rule to openly flout? The regulation helps homeowners who want to have a legal detached ADU, not absentee property owners who don't care what's in the regulations anyway.[/quote]

No, it is not. [/quote]

Good grief. Yes, it is. Show us the evidence you're basing your statement on.[/quote]
