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:

That is a .org website, not .gov.  Who sponsors it?  For all we know, it’s a trade organization of developers.  I will take what they say with a tiny grain of salt.[/quote]

If you clicked on it (to say nothing of reading it), you would know that it belongs to the Montgomery County Planning Department.[/quote]

I did click on it and saw that it was a .org site.

Montgomery County Planning department?  [b]So the department who advocates for more and more and more development?[/b]  I could see why they would push an agenda for more development, I guess.[/quote]

No, the department that is in charge of land use planning.[/quote]
