[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand these YIMBY do gooder twerps. They want to raze all SFHs to build dense crap. They love standing on their moral pedestals when they're too stupid to realize they're destroying the middle class and doing the bidding of the billionaires for free. Owning a home is pretty much the ONLY wealth vehicle the middle class has left. But the do gooders want to raze your homes and build giant apartment complexes next to them. Absolutely no one wants to live next to that junk. The middle class will flee, and guess what, developers come in taking all the homes and building a whole bunch of rental crap. In their infinite wisdom, the YIMBYs and affordable housing idiots are sweeping the last leg of wealth out that is left for the middle class. They ate going to turn the entire counry into permarenters for life. And over time the middle class will be far worse off, because no one will be able to own anything, then they'll still jack up your rents on you in the end. The biggest thing elitists want to control now is land and property ownership. And all these clownshow housing morons are obtaining it for them by ruining your neighborhoods with their amazingly stupid zoning plans.[/quote] Not sure if this is bait, but no elected officials seriously want to raze all SFHs in Montgomery County. The AHSI (which I assume you’re referring to) only applies to specific areas within the county near transit corridors. There’s a wealth of literature showing that increasing supply (building more housing) brings down prices. NIMBYs on the council are promoting their exclusionary policies in the name of alleviating economic inequality, and I am not falling for it, nor are many people on the council and perhaps our next executive.[/quote] Blah blah blah. You are missing the point. You know what happens when they build massive 800 unit apartments near certain corridors, but behind them are neighborhoods? All those units have multiple dwellers who start parking their cars all over neighborhoods. There is an overabundance of trash, crowding, and congestion. You don't need to raze all SFH, you just need to build one massive sh!tty apartment complex full of renters who often give zero Fs. The entire neighborhood goes to ass and people move out. The properties are then bought up by flippers and landlords who turn them into even more rentals and the neighborhood is effectively ruined. All these do gooder idiots can't see the obvious. They are ruining your homes and destroying whatever is left of the middle class' ability to own anything. These idiots are going to end up causing the entire country to turn into nation of renters who Will not be able own anything anymore. All because these morons thought they were doing good by creating "affordable housing". They are falling for the billionaires' crap propaganda because they want to take all land ownership out of the hands of the masses.[/quote] Most of those people don't own cars because they cannot afford them, and they live on those certain corridors because there are buses and metro, and they use those to get to work or shop. I am not going to touch your trash comment, because it is on brand to blame "renters" for the ills of society.[/quote]
