” mass exodus “ they will tax the exodus for those moving out of state.
To: smokingfrog
Think. Think about who is wealthy enough to comply with the smart growth agenda. And think about why the constituents behind it would want a “mass exodus.” How would they benefit from it? Why would they want their neighbors out—those who can’t afford it and would otherwise be forced to rent instead of owning. Do you see, yet? Do you see?

But the exodus would be from the red areas of MD. Wouldnt that be just fine with the Rats?It was fine with Coleman Young in Detroit . It did not work out so well in the long run though.

Calling for the people to burn down the governors mansion, would probably be illegal, so I won't do it.

You’d almost think that Virginia is paying Maryland officials to do all of this....to chase residents down into Virginia.
To: zot
You are right. The governor never gets the rural vote in Maryland, so he has nothing to lose by screwing rural areas.

New home building is to be one home on 40 acres. That's too small to farm in a meaningful way to the economy...It wasn't too small when tobacco was grown in Maryland. 40 acres was a big tobacco farm.

Calling for the people to burn down the governors mansion, would probably be illegal, so I won't do it....and with the governor inside would be doubly so, so I'll refrain from suggesting that, too.

Imho.... Maryland is very harsh toward farms. Why? Because let’s say you force a farmer to sell his property to a developer. The developer builds four bedroom houses on .25 acres each. How much tax revenue does the state get? This is all about money. Years ago, I went to the Montgomery County Agricultural fair... what a joke. They had to “import” farmers and their livestock/produce from other states. We simply don’t have many farms left at all.
To: Smokin' Joe
That’s because the tobacco farmers could only grow what they had government allotments to grow. It’s very tightly controlled. A tobacco allotment is a coveted thing.

Which will also become the new driving force in dispensing medical services under Obamacare. We'll all become the starving and diseased victimized by marxist totalitarian regimes in Africa, waiting for food and medicine which has become the new non-violent weapon of choice against dissident people.
