Liberal Maryland town at war over plan to help middle-class homebuyers, with residents ‘screaming at each other’

A leafy liberal town has erupted into intense debate after plans were announced to allow denser, multi-family homes in single-family neighborhoods.

Officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, introduced a plan in June of this year to allow denser housing in certain areas of the country.

The plan, named the Attainable Housing Strategies, hopes to allow duplexes, and in some cases triplexes and quadplexes, in areas restricted to single-family homes.

It would also permit townhouses and small apartment buildings to be constructed along major corridors and near transit hubs.

Proponents say it is required to prevent home prices from getting further out of reach for the middle-class, but residents see it as a threat to their communities.

  1. they will move illegals in by the 1,000s just like in OH. We are so doomed. I’m sure it’s coming to Salisbury real soon. get your own piece of land and don’t owe anyone for anything.

  2. The same liberal lunatics support OSW! I thought they were a “sanctuary” jurisdiction? I guess they’re OK with “sanctuary” just as long as they don’t have to see them!

  3. JACOB R. (JAKE) DAY, Secretary of Housing & Community Development,
    President, City Council, Salisbury, 2013-15. Mayor of Salisbury, 2015-23.
    Does this name ring a bell ??
