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?

Hans Reimer was a huge advocate for this, though the law passed unanimously.

Could be wrong, but I believe that Reimer is a transplant from California and it hoping to implement similar 'progressive' policies here in Montgomery County.[/quote]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

The current council is very disconnected from the voters. They don't poll or get feedback on issues. They ask the 2-3 people they hired to agree with everything that comes out of their mouth. Those 2-3 people do their job and say agree with them. There is a lot of jumping on whatever progressive trend they see out west without realizing that those trends may make sense and be popular with the citizens out there but not here.

What sucks is that eventually this will get reversed because it is so unpopular. At that point though reversal will displace people in illegal rentals/airBNBs and but people who counted on the airBNB proceeds in economic peril.
