It was a pleasure to meet you this evening- you arent as mean as you might like to be-Rfusterohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00958500409906691318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-1156365440273576442006-08-23T16:37:00.000-04:002006-08-23T16:37:00.000-04:00This is the reason why I advocate for more <B>offices</B> than residential at this point. We are not nearly where we need to be as far as the number of jobs in Montgomery County. Too many people drive to work especially in places like Germantown.<BR/><BR/>To rfustero, we could be like Columbia where 95% of people drive to work unlike Bethesda where it is far far less than that all because of the metro rail and other different modes of transporation as well as high density, office, residential and retail. <BR/><BR/>Transit oriented growth is the best solution on the table right now. I figure if you don't have anything better to offer you shouldn't complain.Silver Springerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14122832753778187800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-1156362725689842752006-08-23T15:52:00.000-04:002006-08-23T15:52:00.000-04:00Anonymous 3:38: Good point. I'd never thought of that . . . timing is a tricky, tricky thing.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Fustero: I say this politely: <B>Move</B>. There are thousands of people who ride the Metro and would gladly take your place in Forest Glen. Those property values are skyrocketing for a reason . . .thecourtyardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594208011755406956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-1156362203932361422006-08-23T15:43:00.000-04:002006-08-23T15:43:00.000-04:00Why do people assume that those living near the Metro will take the Metro to work and leave their cars at home.<BR/><BR/>Not everyone works near a Metro stop. I live a block away from the Forest Glen Metro, and there is no place on the Metro route that I visit.I need to take my car wherever i go--Rfusterohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00958500409906691318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-1156361925193707552006-08-23T15:38:00.000-04:002006-08-23T15:38:00.000-04:00There is a good reason for slowing down development around metro stations. If we do it now it will be done wrong. By that I mean not enough development. <BR/><BR/>The developers are all talking townhouses. The community is up in arms about that much density. And what is needed are midrises as part of complete, transit oriented development. That won't happen if we do it now. <BR/>But it might if we wait a few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
