[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why does everybody think this is about illegals. Young professionals are looking for affordable housing and can't find it. Most rentals will be young single professionals that need a place to live.[/quote]

Young professionals do not want to live in Montgomery County let alone live in an ADU. They want to be closer to their jobs. They are flocking to DC and NOVA. With the exception of the 20 something humane society worker who is destined to own 10 cats in her later years, I don't see any young professionals seeking chomping at the but for an ADU rental in MD.

Yes. They do. They might move to DC for a few months but then they realize they hate the city and move to the burbs. Especially when they are from Johnstown, PA or Winchester, MD.

Of course all you know are kids from Potomac and Bethesda with parents paying their rent.

But no, that is not the majority of the world. Young college graduates can't find jobs close to home, get stuck in MoCo/Fairfax/DC with their cool new job. But they don't like cities, driving in the city, rats, no parking... they hate it.

They use to live in group homes but now that is frowned upon. They would rather rent a room in a basement with a private entrance or an in-law suite.[/quote]
