[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the person who keeps recommending emailing county council members--thank you and also, honestly, will this actually make any difference?  If they literally are pro-fraud and anti-affordable housing (but pro "attainable-for-only developers, so that they can exploit/attain max profit from), and/or just wanna be owed by developers/virtue signal for something they're not even doing, what difference will it make?

Oh, and why is Potomac exempt?  Who made sure that happened? [/quote]

[b]I don’t have an answer for the reason Potomac is exempt.[/b] There are parts of the county that have municipal laws that keep them safe from this zoning proposal. That makes this proposal inherently inequitable.

But please do write and call your council members. They are counting on your silence and / or that you won’t know about what is being proposed. Take 5 minutes once a week and let your council people know you care about your community, you vote, and you expect they will stand for their constituents and NOT developers. [/quote]

Large portions of Potomac are zoned RE (Residential Estate) as opposed to R, and, conveniently, only the R zones are being considered for the zoning text ammendment.  The Thrive-defined growth corridor for River Road conveniently ends at the Beltway, where the other growth corridors extend far beyond the Beltway.[/quote]
