Not the biggest Elrich fan but Montgomery County is very corrupt and it’s the progressives that are the worst because they tell themselves that it’s for a good cause.


As opposed to the Republicans, who can't even claim they're acting for a good cause with a straight face.

Yeah, and we are going to take THE BUS! lol.

Actually, it would probably make sense to build density along some of those corridors. It makes no sense to upzone random SFH neighborhoods across the county. Not for housing, anyway. To satisfy your density fetish, maybe, but why not just move somewhere closer to what you want?


Sure. We can limit it to areas within walking distance to public transit.

Give me a break. No one wants to live next to the poors. Keep them in PGC and Montgomery Village with others of their kind. Elrich understood Montgomery County shouldn't welcome any more of them than we have to.


Except for all of the plans on the books to build that haven’t been activated. Elrich, like most sensible people, would like to do what might work in a way that’s a least disruptive to existing communities. I know this bothers the density fetishists, but I’m sure that we can hand out tissues to them.


Are you under the impression that the county government decides when and where development happens? It doesn't. It can decide where development isn't allowed to happen, but it can't force development where it isn't economically viable.


If there was a need, the builds would happen. After all, I thought that you guys bothered to at least read the Cliffs notes version of macro. You base your entire dimestore philosophy on it.

So, again, this isn’t about housing. The mealy mouthed YImBys even go and on about how “it will be gradual!” and “you’ll barely notice!”

This is an about changing the nature of the suburbs to the liking of a minority, most of whom don’t even live there. In fact, so many of the cult members will talk about how they want to change neighborhoods for people that don’t even live in the county yet.


The "I got mine" attitude of the NIMBYs is staggering. The neighborhood you live in didn't always look the way it does now. The so-called "nature" of that neighborhood changed to accommodate you and many other would-be homeowners, many of whom did not live in the county at the time the homes were built.


This is a very silly argument (still), and you seem like another entitled and delusional twit. Just save us the time and read through the threads about upzoning. It’s unbearable to have to explain it again and again.


Of course. You and your home, along with the others in your neighborhood, have been there since the beginning of civilization.

It's not just based on need. There's a limited amount of capital available for development, limited space, and limited incomes for individuals.

Limiting development to only the most expensive areas and types obviously gets you development that is limited in numbers and high in cost.

Agree, the bipartisan vote was for the smaller term limit. I can't imagine how tough it would be to have 12 years of someone you HATE. At least with Trump, we have only 4 years, I would die if we had to wait 8 more years. That's too much.

This is exactly the MO of the Republican Party who has very successfully infiltrated local governments and school boards. Get ready for more book ban attempts, anti immigrant sentiment, and developer / corporate driven agendas that screw over middle class and working class people just like the “attainable housing strategies”.


A decent CE won't be voted out in a third term because no one decent will run against them, they will be smarter to wait 4 years. If we have a decent CE, but someone who *could* be a great CE run against them in term three, people will vote for the current CE because of name recognition. Change isn't always a good thing.
