[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mind more density. [b]I do mind developers and groups like Montgomery 4 All who pretend that their recommendations will result in affordable housing.[/b] It’s pretty sad to see the super rich exploiting the hopes of people who are struggling just so they can eke out another half a percentage point of profit. Just be honest that you’re only building for rich people and that your only goal is to maximize profit. After that, we can have an honest discussion about how much income-limited housing should be included in each project, what taxpayer subsidies developers should get, and whether developers or other taxpayers should shoulder the burden of that new 6-lane road to their development or that new school that’s needed.

They will certainly result in housing that is [u]more[/u] affordable. It won't result in housing that the poorest people can afford, but the county has separate programs for that.

As for who shoulder the burden of that new 6-lane road to the development? Nobody. There shouldn't be a new 6-lane road.[/quote]

Yes everybody, in this fantasy everyone rides the bus!  Or rides a bike!  No need for parking requirements or new infrastructure!

I swear, I can’t tell if the GGW crowd is delusional or just deceptive.[/quote]

And doesn’t get knifed or urinated upon? [/quote]
