    Basically say by to your single family house suburbs. They hate you.

    The DCist, because it is part of the left-wing tax-payer funded National Public Radio (NPR), accused opponents of the plan of spreading disinformation about it, including County Executive Marc Elrich, who “warned that adopting Thrive would give lawmakers carte blanche to phase out single-family zoning and set off a storm of new, expensive development countywide.”

    But a closer look at the plan reveals that it embraces the narrative the single family neighborhoods are inherently racist and that to create “equity” requires giving access to them through the installation of affordable housing, mostly in the form of apartment buildings.

    Prince George’s County highlights its affordable housing efforts
    “This is a very intentional effort on behalf of the county to make sure that as the county grows, that we are taking into account every single resident, that we have affordable housing as a part of our plan and strategy to make sure that we’re not pushing out people,” Alsobrooks said.

    The county’s program aims to ensure the presence of affordable housing, such as the Villa, which is near transit hubs, such as Metro and the Purple Line.

    “We are looking to, by 2030, build 26,000 new housing units in the county, 75% of which would be affordable,” said Angie Rodgers, the deputy chief administrative officer for Economic Development at Prince George’s County.

    Rodgers said the county’s “right of first refusal” is a very important tool in its effort to build the supply of affordable housing.

    “It’s a county law that says that if an owner of a building that is 20 units or more decides to sell, that they have to offer that rate to buy first to the county,” Rodgers said.

    The county’s developer-partners are on standby, ready to purchase the properties, which present opportunity to preserve affordable housing.


    A Hyattsville apartment complex called Hamilton Manor is the first property in the county, obtained this past summer, through the new Right of First Refusal law.

    What could possibly go wrong?
