Seems to me the best plan would be to send all of the obnoxious New Urbanism and GGWash shamers who shout "nimby" at everyone nonstop over to PG county and get them out of our hair here in DC.

Send Payton Chung and the rest of those weirdos to PG to yell at PG about densifying. We have enough of that already here in Ward 6.

Utterly pathetic. Ward 6 where I live has had residences for 40,000 built and/or put into the pipeline to be built over the span of just 10 years. It grew so much and so fast compared to the other wards that they had to change the ward boundaries. And, they did it in Ward 6 with far less land to work with than PG has. Yet PG thinks they have too much going on with a paltry 2800? 40,000 is like the entire population of Maryland.

Because the Supreme Court said it is.

MoCo has the agricultural reserve green belt, but that is under attack from developers and their "affordable housing" activist allies.

What’s funny is the “affordable housing” activists also are attacking the requirements to provide … “affordable housing.”

PG capping housing?

We have. Developers choose to build in faraway places because land is cheaper. It’s always been the case in this area. For decades, developers have leapt over undeveloped land near transit because they could get a better return building further out, even though sales prices are lower. The only way to stop this is regulation. 2,800 permits seems ridiculously low but if you don’t prohibit sprawl you’re going to get sprawl, which absolutely kills local governments’ budgets. Prince George’s should have done the cap outside the beltway but had no cap inside the beltway.

That ship has sadly sailed.

Just buy an old house and fix it up. Why do you expect other people to do the work for you.

DC area needs to encourage "gentrification" so people who don't need to live here, can move to low cost of living area for better lifestyle and people who do need to be here due to work, can find affordable housing here. Nonsensical stubbornness hurts both groups AND leads to poverty leading to increased crime.
