[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My area is already crowded in terms of roads and schools with single family homes.  There would have to be some massive infastructure projects to accomodate adding multifamily dwellings to large areas of the county.[/quote]

There would be fewer cars on the road if more people were able to live closer to things they can currently only reach by car.

I’m so tired of the NIMBY’s pushing everyone out to Clarksburg and Frederick.[/quote]
Have you been pushed out to either Clarksburg or Frederick? [b]The DMV is a huge area that provides lots of housing choices for everyone [i]who has lots of money[/i]. [/b][/quote]

Fixed that for you.

That is just factually untrue, both for rental housing and ownership. For example, this is a perfectly nice starter home for $371k that is half a mile to two Metro stations, the same distance to groceries and other amenities and only 1.5 miles to the DC border.

Is this a joke?  Hyattsville is not in MoCo but sure someone that is going to live in Montgomery County is going to be in Hyattsville instead.  Heck, they should just move out to Winchester VA while they're at it!  You basically proved the point of the theread, thanks![/quote]
It is telling that you specifically choose to exclude some neighborhoods from the DMV at your choice.[b] That house meets every single criteria that people should want.[/b] In fact, YIMBYs should be upset that there is SFH in this "walkshed".

It seems to be true that YIMBYs really just want to live around white people.[/quote]

Except for the "is in Montgomery County" one. Location, location, location.[/quote]
