[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to live in Hoboken, dimwits.  If I wanted to live in a dense craphole like Hoboken then I would move to Hoboken.  If you want Hoboken, go live there.  Leave my home, yard, and neighborhood alone.

Ahhhhh Hoboken, where you get have the privilege of spending 45 minutes after work everyday trying to find somewhere to park after work.   Just awful.  [/quote]

Nobody is forcing you to live in Hoboken. Nobody is doing anything to your home or yard. You don't own your neighborhood.[/quote]

They are absolutely forcing people to live in the Hoboken AKA the “ugly cousin of Manhattan” by pushing through crazy upzoning proposals most resident don’t want. [/quote]

Public Service Announcement: All of Montgomery County as you know it today, was once upzoned from a lower density designation. Some farmer probably tried to block your SFH development as ruining the character of the county.

Upzoning is the natural consequence of the Nation/Region/County growing. If you are not fabulously wealthy, just mentally prepare yourself for this to happen to your neighborhood some day.  [/quote]

Population growth is slowing dramatically and there is no need to upzone the entire county to a multiple of the current density everywhere. Neighbors need to fight back and protect their communities from destruction due to crazy YIMBY policies. [/quote]

Most of the houses in the study area were built in the 60's and 70's. Montgomery's population has doubled/tripled since then. Family size has also shrunk while the population has aged. More and different kinds of housing is now needed.

NIMBYs lost this fight when they rolled out the welcome mat for developers and who ever could set foot in the county. [/quote]
