[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you NIMBYs sure do like complaining (and seem to think most people agree with you, for some reason?)

You all keep yappin' about "community engagement" and "letting your voice be heard". Well guess what, we did all that! It was called the elections. And they have consequences. Get over it, the state is moving forward.

If you wanna live in a farm, go buy a farm lol.[/quote]

So just lay back and enjoy it?

Was this your advice during Trump’s years in office?[/quote]

This is also dishonest because this policy does force people to leave there homes by increasing the assessed value of property to the point that many can no longer afford to pay the property taxes. You guys are absolutely try to force people to leave their homes by making the property taxes unaffordable, so don’t lie about your motives to force everyone to live in “environmentally friendly” Soviet style apartment complexes. [/quote]

Could you provide an example of a Soviet style apartment complex in Montgomery County, please? Since the Planning Department keeps trying to force everyone into them, there must be at least one such building in Montgomery County. But where? I haven't seen any. What haven't I seen?[/quote]
One of the things that has been in little dispute, even within Planning, was that the architectural and aesthetic quality of high-rise and multi-family dwellings in the county has traditionally been very poor. You seem to be someone who just argues out of ignorance just for the sake of arguing.[/quote]

is commenting about[i] aesthetic/architectural quality[/i]? How about that.

Have you seen the aesthetic/architectural quality of the houses in the University Boulevard corridor? It's cookie cutter, mass-produced, tract housing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.[/quote]

There is absolutely everything wrong with mass-produced tract apartments housing. It destroys the American dream by creating a nation of renters and landed gentry. Policies that push people to live in low-quality apartments complexes will cause the middle class to lose opportunities to establish generational wealth and financial stability.[/quote]

There's a bit of a tension in homes being a source of wealth as well as homeownership expanding. Like where is that wealth going to buy your home going to come from? People without homes? [/quote]
