-Eliminate single family zoning: All this means is that they will allow townhomes where there is single family zoning.

-Enforce a minimum zoned density of 8units/acre - this is only for townhomes with public water and this is a common industry standard.

-Eliminate lot coverage limits: This just means houses will be closer together like in the Kentlands in Maryland, essentially no yard. It makes houses more affordable.

-Make lot setbacks 5ft side/10ft front - IDK if I care about this or not, why do you?

-Eliminate height restrictions: This at 1st glance might make you think they can build bigger structure but it is so they can build smaller more affordable homes. [/quote]

This is hogwash. Seriously. Are you gaslighting?

Eliminating SFH zoning means I can build a condo building in any neighborhood I want and the height restrictions - at least as imagined in places like MoCo by our nutty Council - is up to five stories.

It also means I can cram units into one lot and build right up to the lot line.

And all of this while Maryland can’t afford basic maintenance if infrastructure and our schools struggle in MoCo to do basic updates.

As soon as my kids are in college, I’m out of the state. That gives me no joy as a life-long Marylander and a Democratic voter. “Progressives” are the death of us. [/quote]

You dont understand the law. It does not allow condos where there were once sfh. It allows townhomes. [/quote]
