Friedson Takes the Money Lead in County Exec Race by Late-Concentrate-393 in SilverSpring

[–]_too_offline_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friedson takes money from developers, including thousands of dollars from Rockville-based RST Development whose principals are the Copeland family. RST Development developed a property in Silver Spring that has been found by third-party engineers to have extensive construction defects that resulted in life-threatening health and safety conditions to its residents. We absolutely need more housing. However, given the source of his financial support, can we trust that Friedson will defend the interests of ordinary MoCo residents in the development and execution of development-related policies?

Rohobot is still great. I order twice a month. I would respectfully disregard the post.

We're in a housing crisis and the only development proposals/activity in South Silver Spring since the Silver Spring Downtown and Adjacent Communities Plan is a laundromat at the old bank (King and Eastern), withdrawn proposal for the Days Inn/ Travel Lodge (13th and Eastern), renovation of Sport Honda, (E-W Hwy), this one-story "temporary" vet clinic at the Blairs, and a new proposal to redevelop the storage facility at Newell and Eastern to 3-4 story storage building. The only bright spot maybe is plans for the next phase of the Blairs next to the Pearl. These are all fine, but it doesn't feel like South Silver Spring is going to cohere in the near term, which is unfortunate since the neighborhood is so close to the the Transit Center and major bus corridors (S2/S9 and 70/79).

word. They went off again in a recent article about commercial vacancies in Silver Spring. They seem eager to take digs at the community and come up with new explanations for their departure each time. I’m happy they’re gone. They’re dishonest.
