And maybe the County Council can share in some blame.  They are the ones approving rampant unchecked, overdevelopment without planning for additional schools to meet the needs of the exploding population.[/quote]

It actually isn't rampant unchecked overdevelopment (although it can feel that way, when you see the new buildings in some areas), and the population isn't exploding.

"The rate of new housing construction is well below levels typical of recent decades and is not nearly enough to keep up even with moderate rates of population and job growth" - see the chart with the title "New Housing Units Reported in Building Permits" at the bottom of this blog post:

[b]I call BS.[/b]  They are building more housing when the current infrastructure (traffic, schools, police, fire, libraries, etc) cannot accomodate the current population.  The current Planning Board/Council only plans for more housing, not the rest.  If they did the planning that included the infrastructure to support the current residents AND the newcomers, many wouldn't care.  But they don't, so we do.[/quote]

Did you look at the numbers?

Also it's factually incorrect that the current Planning Board/County Council only plans for more housing.[/quote]
