Abstract

For 50 years, the famously liberal City of Takoma Park has not built multifamily housing and remained unchanged in population even as the region has grown dramatically. Could a new plan to redevelop a former hospital site be the lever which finally ends the block on affordable housing in the Washington DC suburb? Sunil Dasgupta talks with Takoma Park Mayor Talisha Searcy about the Minor Master Plan passed by the city and now up for vote in the Montgomery County Council: https://t.ly/23V4F. Local news: MCPS, firefighter/EMS short staffing woes, state bills update from MD Legislative Coalition. Music from Washington DC power pop band, Dear Daria’s brand new EP, Solastalgia: deardariaband.com.
