I think the interchanges poster has found a new pet hobby.

Are you the same poster in the Clifton thread calling for affordable multi family housing?

Takoma Park.

And Elrich and Jawando want to make it countywide.

Because Potomac is not incorporated, the only jurisdiction that could impose it on Potomac would be Montgomery County. It is not the law of Montgomery County.

There’s no reason we can’t build transit there or add bus routes.

There is a reason why we cannot do these things, it is called planning. These things are not in the short or long-term transportation plans for Potomac. Furthermore, to the OPs first point, the county took a historic look at housing and land use to produce a new general plan called Thrive 2050 that had the organizing principal of “compact growth”. Developing Potomac contradicts that principal and as a result, River Rd north of the Beltway to Potomac was specifically and unanimously determined to not be a “growth corridor” for housing densification.

No. Public transit is terrible in the area, very little inexpensive food and commerce, and far from most jobs. This would make ZERO sense.

Guarantee that OP has green and / or purple hair.

1. Potomac is not a “town”. It is not even incorporated.

2. Rent control is not a thing anywhere in Montgomery County.

Narrow two lane roads, zero transit, little retail and few local jobs — OP you are nuts.

No.

I'm talking about apartments, rent controlled and affordable housing needs to be a priority in that town
