[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are missing what brought us to live out here in the first place.
 [b]I love our expansive, multi acre lot.[/b] I love living among other people who value this, surrounded by families and people who value space, privacy, serenity, beautiful construction, everybody in our neighborhood takes impeccable care of their homes and their lots, and there is true safety and prosperity in our corner of Potomac.

I don’t want it ruined, simply so you guys can give a kick back to developers in an effort to alleviate the overcrowding in Silver Spring. It’s a hot mess and it won’t fix anything. [/quote]

Another post that shows this isn't about the housing, it's about the people who (you fear) will live in the housing.

I get it: you like things the way they are, you don't want things to change. But "I, a current resident, don't want things to change" is not the basis for a sound housing policy for the county. Especially because things are going to change, whether the county changes the zoning or not.

Oh please.  [b]You are probably an angry renter furious about the fact that you can't afford a home in your crappy MoCo govt job salary. [/b] You want to take your frustration out on home owners because they're more successful than you, saved more diligently than you, and were able to buy a home as a result.  Just because you can have what they have you want to ruin their homes and neighborhoods.  If you want dense city life so much, go move to DC clown.  Millions of people in the country do not want sh!tty urban life.  Which is why they move to the burbs. Stop trying to bring urbanized cesspools to the burbs.  Maybe you should also better yourself so you can afford a home rather than rent. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and I've been a homeowner in Montgomery County for 25 years. In fact, I've been a homeowner of a detached SFH in Montgomery County for 25 years. And yes, I support the proposal.[/quote]
Why? [/quote]

Because the county needs more housing, of all types.
Because it makes sense to allow that housing to be built in many parts of the county, where there already is housing.
Because I am not afraid of renters or multi-unit housing.
Because I want Montgomery County to be a place where my kids will want to live, and be able to afford to live. And not just my kids, but all of the other kids in MCPS. All our kids.[/quote]

You can't whine about more housing until you remove all of the illegal immigration hogging housing resources.  You can't roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants then complain about lack of affordable housing. Why should citizens ruin their neighborhoods because immigrants suck up huge amounts of affordable housing units that could be used for citizens?  How about no?  I'll agree to upzoning once you can actually prove there is a 'housing crisis' after you remove all foreign nationals not here legally. [/quote]
