You literally sound so stupid. Reading your post was so cringy worthy, I thought it warranted this response back.
Cringy Worthy?And the PP you're responding to is the stupid one?
Absolutely. Stupid and unhinged.
You do realize original PP was being facetious in response to this ridiculous thread and the many more like it here in DCUM, right? I mean how many times do we have to start a thread to have a discussion on how supposedly shitty MoCo is (at least that's what some people here would like others to believe). Now that's "cringy worthy."

I'm worried about this
The GGW alarmist view to push the big development agenda. The facts on the ground - look at Bethesda, for example — suggest otherwise.
I'm in Wheaton and the facts on the ground aren't as encouraging
One poster joked about luxury condominiums turning into low income housing but according to reviews I've read online, that has actually happened in Wheaton

+1 and people wonder why trump got elected. They cannot discern fact from reality.

Ha, ha. No, Bezo’s home address and s walkable Bridge to National Airport from Crystal City are why we didn’t get it.

There is a contingent of people who WANT MoCo to stay cheap and affordable for low income, working poor and lower level professionals. They tend to get supported by the unions and get elected. Not getting Amazon works for them. They really don't care that everyone in Arlington will make a ton of equity and have a rich tax base from all the new professional level jobs because those aren't the type of jobs that they could ever get anyway.
That's very elitist of you.
Should these lower level people eat cake instead?
That is not elitist. Don’t you know any of the local pols? Nancy Floreen and George Leventhal, to some extent the re-elected Hans Reiner were all over this. That is part of the reason there is so much development - to keep the County from becoming like Cali, where it is unaffordable to live. This is a huge reason why there is so much development in Bethesda.
