2011 Carroll County Master Plan Update
[B' Spokes: Something is not right here, you can have smart growth without townhouses. Do people really want to "escape" smart growth or do they just want to get away from dumb incomplete communities where "the developer knows best" run a muck as they seem to be advocating for here? Or is it just the plain and simple "drive till you qualify"?
We are planning for the long term and we do not have any guaranties the cost of using single occupancy vehicles (SOV) will go down, in fact trends are pointing to the cost of SOV will continue to go up. So does it really make sense to plan communities where transportation costs will exceed the cost of home ownership?
Still the main point is if you live in Carroll County get involved, that is unless you want to see Carroll County turned into sprawl central and developers turning a quick buck with no thought to consequences down the road.]
