So short-sighted for MoCo to pave over every single open space of land.

People move to MoCo because they want to live in the suburbs.  If they wanted an urban environment, they would move to DC.

People in the suburbs hate the parking garages.  They hate having to pay for parking.  They want green space.  They want places for their kids and dogs to run around.

In theory, the developers would stop building if there is no demand, but it hasn’t worked that way. [b] So much of the high density housing isn’t filling up[/b], yet they keep adding more projects.

Anyone trying to sell a condo in Montgomery county understands that there is a huge oversupply of condos.

How do you know this? And how are the developers staying in business if they can't sell what they're building?

Also, the developments you're objecting to are all on parts of Montgomery County that were/are already paved. Unless you think of the parking lots of Mid-Pike Plaza or Grosvenor Metro as open space? I don't.[/quote]

Maybe not Puke and Rose, but all the development near Shady grove has been on land that was undeveloped/unsaved.  All those apartment complexes, near Shady Grove hospital.  The entire area where Crown is, had zero buildings and was just grass and trees.  Now, it’s high density housing.

The areas up 270 were not paved over.  Now there is a crap ton of high density housing.

Also, Pike and Rose had some business, but not thousands of housing units.  [/quote]
