[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s so much news about the need for housing in MoCo. There are many bills being circulated to increase the number of developments/houses in areas already at capacity. But almost a third of the county is an agricultural reserve with significant restrictions on building/development. Why? Could we remove that designation and open it up to more housing and increase the supply- thus creating much needed affordable housing? [/quote] Density + Green / Open space is the way to go. Prevents sprawl, shortens commutes, promotes strong towns.[/quote] Someone brought up Europe. They don't have sky scraperish 'towns'. They have squat medieval buildings in the center surrounded by houses surrounded by farm houses. Sounds like how Bethesda already looks to me minus the lots of parks, open piazzas and usually a river. European towns aren't concrete hell scapes. [/quote]
