Potomac is a whole lot of not much, so I don't know how Potomac could be ruined - even assuming that apartments/condos ruin places, which is a foolish assumption. Actually, given how much there isn't in Potomac, I think apartments and condos would actually improve Potomac.

Perhaps you should lobby the county council to kick Potomac out of Montgomery County so you wouldn't have to deal with us anymore. Oh, wait, you need our money to fund your leftist insanity.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:How about we just stop all the building.

Build it in the east county. People spend years saving to live in the west county and that’s just the way it should be.
I didn't ask for Potomac to be built, but there it is just the same.

I'd be okay with huge apartments as long as these people were absolutely not allowed to own cars and were required to use public transport only. Traffic and parking are the main issues IMO.
The main issues for whom?
For anyone in the surrounding area that saved up to buy their house and doesn’t need to live in the new high rise project. Obviously, they are capitalist pigs and deserve no respect and should be a secondary consideration in all decisions.
What’s important is creating housing tracts everywhere, especially in gentrifying neighborhoods, and to subsidize people to live where in perpetuity out of fairness.
Maybe you can explain why you assume that "multi family housing" automatically means "high rise project"?
If you don't like "housing tracts everywhere," then you must really hate Potomac - Potomac as it is right now, I mean.

Agreed, the OP must be trolling.
I'm not the OP, but - why shouldn't it be allowed to build multi-family housing in Potomac?
Why? You want to “stick it to ‘em?” Resentful of the area?
How is it "sticking it to" people to build multi-family housing in an area?
You can answer that for us by answering why you want multi-unit housing in Potomac.
