What's your problem? I voted for Blair but I'm not trying to disenfranchise people who voted for Erlich.

I think amazon coming to moco was a long shot regardless. I doubt bezoar was scrambling to find out our local election results. He knows he can get whatever breaks he wants.

Enjoy having a dwindling tax base, higher taxes, reduced services, and virtually no chance of having any employers grow in MoCo.

Dear lord no. Might as well hire a developer to take over as county executive. That’s the same as voting for Nancy Floreen.

Why are developers seen as so terrible in MoCo? I live in Wheaton and we would love some development over here.

They jam pack as many people in one area as possible.
Schools, roads, traffic suffer
They make no effort into fitting into the feel of existing neighborhoods.
Cookie cutter
Zero foresight


Example - remember when Walmart wanted to build on Rockville Pike? They were going to occupy a pretty small strip mall. Zero foresight to how that would make the horrendous traffic and congestion 10x worse. Thankfully the plan wasn't approved.

Go lure them over to Wheaton. The other side of the redline is saturated.

So, when they built your cookie-cutter SFH, did they take into the account the same things you are complaining about? Probably not, which is why it was built in the first place. A majority of the development in MoCo has been apartments and townhomes, most of which have been bought by millennials, something that the County is desperately in need of in order to pay for things such as improved roads, and school construction. It's also debatable as to whether these new developments have contributed to school congestion, which has been correlated more towards demographic changes.

These are worse in NoVa.

Yea, and Bezos was waiting to see how this ended. He wanted Amazon in Montgomery County but zero chance if it now. Could have been thousands of six figure incomes without having to commute to DC or Tysons. Plus all the pick up in business activity to support the inflow. What a terrible opportunity wasted. People in this county are so stupid with absolutely no sense of reality. You want to help immigrants and improve education, bring jobs here!!!! It is a better quality of life for everyone. Once this is official with no recount, watch Amazon announce Crystal City......

Ok we’ll get ready for higher taxes and/or lower services as Elrich drives businesses away. Shrug. I have options to go elsewhere and just might.

So happy that Blair couldn’t buy a seat. Although it was too close for comfort.
