It most definitely is rampant, unchecked development when they have built thousands and thousands of high density housing units all over the county, without adding additional schools to support that housing.  Our cluster has ESs that are already at capacity, and they are building thousands of townhouses/condos in our area.  But, there is no planning for an additional ES, or an additional library.  One ES just got an addition, but is already at capacity.

Where are the plans for additional libraries?  Additional park space?  There's already not enough soccer/baseball fields and basketball courts for our kids to practice on.  [/quote]

What area are you talking about, where they are planning to build thousands of townhouses/condos? (High-density attached single-family houses?)[/quote]

All.  Over.

There are thousands of apartments/condos/townhouses that have gone up all around the county over the past decade.  And, more planned.

The Shady Grove area has had Crown plus several new apartment complexes.
Pike and Rose and the surrounding area have also had thousands of dwelling units.
There is additional housing going in at Montgomery Mall and also at Cabin John Mall.  Where are the additional classrooms coming from to support those students that will live there?  
Upcounty in Clarksville has had tons of additional housing built.

Drive anywhere in the county and you’ll see signs touring the planned addition of hundreds of new units at a time in areas where there was previously no housing.

It’s ridiculous that they want to build on every single empty space of land in this county.  [/quote]
