[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, look at this. An entire development of townhomes? Right here in Montgomery County? I thought that the YIMBYs said that this was ILLEGAL? My gosh, building illegal homes right under our noses! https://mocoshow.com/2024/10/02/new-82-unit-townhome-community-on-tower-oaks-blvd-receives-preliminary-approval/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1Jbt2dMJcMCJPAdUGUOApY6Fz_u3irlE-z500aigec0Uizv-dNP_u5yCs_aem_4gtbPCyqNjcQZE5-jiiYkA LMAO. This seems to be a little more sane than trying to insert these where they weren’t meant to be. I mean, what is this, actual planning? In our county? “ The project plan includes 82 townhome units, featuring both front- and rear-loaded designs, along with a central open-space plaza. The Planning Commission also reviewed the project, approving a level 2 site plan application earlier this summer.”[/quote] Wow, look, more housing! Look at the crisis! https://mocoshow.com/2024/10/03/rockville-office-building-may-convert-to-181-unit-residential-multifamily-building/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR03Cg-rVs79YckvbBw8TTNIGRt94JIknEBv64jT908oONIuNH-CIr-terc_aem_vofmJTI0K1lji1EvRa_urg[/quote] The crisis is that the developer won’t build these anytime soon, and planning will give them extension after extension even though it would clearly be in the public interest for the houses to be built now. Meanwhile, the developer will use the newly more valuable land as collateral for a loan to buy other land or fund projects in places where they can make more money. [/quote] Typical YIMBY hypocrisy.....the density that doesn't support the narrative "won't get built", but the density they do support will not only get built but also solve all of the region's problems.[/quote]
