[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some, at least 1, council member probably wants to be voted out. They can then say they stood up for "attainable" (for developers and people with inherited $$$ etc.) housing and get paid by some developer friends to lobby or be on a board.[/quote] Another odd conspiracy fantasy. The simpler explanation is that the council members sincerely believe they are supporting a good policy.[/quote] They know they aren’t because this isn’t a good policy and it doesn’t reflect the interests of homeowners and others who have invested in the community. It doesn’t ensure affordable housing. All it does ensure is developers make $$$$. So as a reminder, write / call your council member and make sure they know your concerns.[/quote] If you can't imagine that people who disagree with you are sincere in their disagreements, that's a problem with your thinking. I am not a county council member, but in my sincere opinion 1. it is a good policy. 2. it does reflect the larger interests of homeowners and others who have invested in the community. 3. it is not intended to ensure affordable housing. 4. developers make money by building housing, for example the house you live in; if you have benefited from having the house you live in, then you should thank a developer.[/quote]
