[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cities that have tried zoning changes to allow multiple residences on single lots have not experienced more affordable homes and created a developer bonanza. No reason to believe the result will be different in Maryland. [/quote] Exactly. A lot of this “movement” is driven by developers who manipulate the public and well intentioned but not well versed politicians to vote for YIMBY policies. The developers not only make big bucks off of the new homes (vs creating more affordable homes) but they are often getting enormous tax breaks that put the full burden of needed infrastructure and school expansion on the backs of the very same tax payers who can’t afford homes. Follow the money. In MoCo the drivers of these plans have been developers. Friedson and Glass, have taken money from developer lobbying groups. [/quote]
