[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people are worried about affordable housing, is there anything to be done about the developers in our neighborhood that tear down houses in the 800K range and replace them with ugly monstrous houses that they are trying to charge 2.4M for?  When we moved here 15 years ago it was such a nice neighborhood with nice normal houses and every year the new hosing just gets bigger and bigger.  I think it’s finally hit a ceiling as the last two houses are just sitting there with no buyers.  [/quote]

People will go with whatever makes the most money. You can't really stop people from building nicer houses, so the only Ithing you can really do is to provide similarly lucrative ways to build smaller, cheaper homes. More specifically, build multiple townhomes, duplexes, etc. on a single lot.[/quote]

Ok, I don’t want to stop people from building nicer houses.  Why are you interfering in the market?

I thought that the YImBYs were all “, “iT’s eCOnom S 101 Durr?”[/quote]

Um... you understand that[b] many places forbid anything but a SFH, right?[/b]

You really can't be this stupid... but NIMBYs gonna NIMBY I guess.[/quote]

Thank god. And really it's a few small municipalities with their own zoning. MoCo govt lets you do nearly anything which is why Bethesda, North Bethesda, Germantown and Clarksburg are a mess. [/quote]
