[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live near Clifton. The [b]entire city[/b] is in the low point of a watershed area. They really should not develop more because it will end up like Ellicott City or worse. Most of the houses in the area use septic. If the water levels go up, due to flooding due to parking lots and overdevelopment, it’s going to be terrible for everyone who owns homes there. It’s zoned like a farm area for a reason. If you want more dense housing- Burke and Springfield and Fairfax are less than a mile away for a reason. [/quote] Clifton is a 1/4 square mile “city” with 300 people. Plenty of elevated land around it.[/quote] DP but read the post. Building on the nearby elevated land around the town will lead to tons of runoff and flooding. There are other places to build in the county that make more sense. I wonder who on this thread is familiar with Hillsboro and their recently completed infrastructure project. Has it led to increased traffic or other impacts?[/quote]
