[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is some hyperbole in this thread.

What I think would be a fair criticism of Dan is-

-he drastically favors East county to west. [b] That means among other things he is anti transit except public transportation.  The reality is a lot of us in Gaithersburg and beyond depend on cars.  We all cant afford to just live in DTSS. [/b]  Sure, changing the zoning would help (for FUTURE people), but some of us made the decision to sprawl by sheer neccessity.

-He generally refuses to even consider the opinions of people who do not agree with his far left views, across the board.

-Not every neighborhood wants tons of density.   Those of us who chose to move farther out of city centers for more land, more space, etc- dont neccesarily want tons of density right in our backyard.  Again- it's fine that he does, but he seems to never consider the viewpoints of those who dont agree with him in lockstep.

BTW- the idea from an above poster that Marc Elrich somehow isnt progressive *enough* is borderline scary. He has at times referred to himself a socialist for godsakes. [/quote]

The whole point to to provide people with alternatives so there isn't dependence on the single occupancy car. More transit options means more people can live in more places.[/quote]
