Leopold to Downzone Land in Annapolis Neck

I like seeing this headline, but its just in the wrong place.

It would read better to see: "Leopold to downzone land in Marley Neck and Tanyard Springs"

Lets face it, If the few thousand homes go in on Marley Neck Blvd. and Solley Road that are projected within the upcoming years, the Pasadena peninsula will be, for lack of better terms, one large cluster. Traffic is already at terrible conditions during peak hours of the day. With the addition of these homes, traffic on Fort Smallwood Road and Solley Road will be horrendous.

Let me add more fuel to the fire:

Our hospitals are already being overcrowded.......

Our ambulance system is being pushed to its wits end.........

Pumping stations for Sewage are popping up like Psoriasis.......

As are 3 new homes on sites where only 1 existed before.......

As are those who are defaulting on their payments for these luxurious new homes........

I also read today because of these defaults that our economy is slowly beginning to slip off-course. The further and further the public plunges themselves into debt, the closer we become to losing this economy.

Although, Folks, I don't think this economy is all that it makes itself to be. In truth, I think we are looking at a proxy economy.... taking place of the one that really belongs there. Soon, as in all things, the proxy will come to an end and the ugly truth will rear its head to bite many of us where it hurts, so lets prepair now.

Let add that schools are overcrowded. The police department still cannot fill vacancies. And both county jails are already at their max.

Before building more homes, someone should consider if we have the infrastructure to support it.
