[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t we build on green space up i270? I’m sure land would be cheaper.[/quote]

And then add more people who ahve to drive everywhere on roads that are already overcongested. hence focusing housing in transit corridors, you know, the way the rest of the world does it.[/quote]

So you oppose SFH up 270. How does that make you different from people who oppose small apartment buildings in Chevy Chase? You both want to ban some housing because you don’t like it. [/quote]

You don't get out much. Development up 270 continues. But it isn't good for anyone to have sprawl be the only path to additional housing.[/quote]

It’s not the only path to additional housing and I think you know this. More housing has been built down county than upcounty in recent years. But it’s mostly rentals. The biggest mismatch in supply and demand is actually homes available for purchase. That mismatch has driven prices up in all market segments because it’s forced people to rent longer than they have in the past. [/quote]
