Make the swamp creatures lead by example. If we put them all in Soviet block housing just outside DC. it would solve several problems.
1. It will add to the DC housing availability,
2. It would decrease the cost of personal security provided to the swamp creatures.
3. It would make the creatures more readily available in case they are quickly needed.
ETC. ETC. ETC.

Length of time a law has been in place doesn't take into account if the law makes sense.

If the state didn't pass a property rights law in the wake of Kelo, the state can take property from one owner under eminent domain (giving them whatever they believe is fair market value) then give it to a real estate developer under the guise of it being serving a public purpose (more housing).

It’s called zoning you inbred moron!!
If you own a nice middle class home (average today is $400,000) and your neighbor sells it and they build low income housing, what do you think will happen to your house and the rest of the neighborhood value, you stupid socialist moron?!

Who is removing the regulations in place?
Government. What does that matter?
When Trump says he's going to fight inflation by removing regulations (which is basically the same argument as this housing one), is he a Commie? Promoting more government?

Ah yes the head idiot chips in with the dumbest take on the board. Par for course!
Zoning has absolutely nothing do with socialism and more to do with capitalism , god damn you are one dense know it all mf’er!
As a developer, which I was but retired 4 years ago at age 50 and now live in the Caribbean on my yacht. Zoning allowed developers to maximize profit because you were able to build a development based on certain criteria's, which in turned created added value to your development and thus allowed homeowners to gain more equity in their home without raising a finger. This allowed me to charge more on phase 2, 3, 4 etc of my development because of the value I created in phase one of my development.
Stick to something you think you know, this isn’t it! As a matter of fact I have yet to read anything of value from you!!

How do you define socialism without government regulation of private property?
quote:

True capitalism doesn't involve government regulation of private property.
The less capitalist you get, there is more government regulation of private property, which leads to an increased state of socialism.

That's called crony capitalism, which is a socialist concept.
Just because you benefited from socialism at the expense of others doesn't make it capitalist.

Eric Holder, ---- This is just another leftist bill which goal is to bring poo family housing into the suburbs.
There should be a law that requires anyone wanting to do this should be required to re-locate their own habitation to a similar neighborhood and live there exclusively for the next ten years.

No they won’t. Name one ski town where that has happened. You’re just clutching your pearls because you don’t like rich people.

Wrong
If gubment is telling you what you can or cant do with your property, thats not close to a free market.
Its how governments keep prices artificially high, crony capitalism.

Here's a piece from Greater Greater Washington (which supports this, so take it for what its worth) that delves into more detail than OP's article
quote:
County Executive Marc Elrich can’t stop a proposal to tackle Montgomery County’s sky-high home prices. Instead, he’s encouraging residents and community groups that have historically opposed new development to kill it for him. Here’s what you need to know, and what you can do about it.
This fall, the County Council will review a recommendation from the Planning Board to allow duplexes, townhomes, and small apartment buildings throughout the county. County planning staff argue that this effort, called Attainable Housing Strategies, will create more lower-priced housing options in a community where the average sales price for a stand-alone, single-family house—the only thing that’s legal to build in much of the county today—is $970,000.
The executive recently told Channel 7 that he doesn’t support Attainable Housing Strategies, but admitted that legally he can’t stop it, as the council has the final say: “If I had veto power over it, which I don’t, I’d veto it,” Elrich said. That hasn’t stopped him from trying to discredit the proposals and, in turn, ignoring his constituents’ desire for a solution to high housing costs.

NIMBYs always use government regulation to protect the inflation of their property. That's why this is so common in liberal areas.
Government regulation creates market inefficiencies, in this case, it decreases supply intentionally. This will artificially raise the price of homes within the regulated area.
The people who benefited from this over-regulation and the market inefficiencies caused by it fight tooth and nail to avoid actual capitalist/free market pricing to take place.
The people who benefit most typically have the most, and they can exert disproportional influence on politics. This creates a government that serves the interest of both government and these special interests. On the federal level, we call this the Deep State. It's the same concept at the local/county/state levels.
