Condominium moratorium opposed as antagonistic to private sector
In Rockville Montgomery County witnesses opposed a proposed three month condo conversion moratorium arguing it harms private interests. County Executive Gilchrist called the mood uncertain and warned the plan could hinder joint goals as housing advocates pressed for more low and moderate income units. Realtor Terry Ryan warned condominiums remain a key affordable option, claiming one third of under $80,000 housing is in this market and that the moratorium would restrict home ownership choices.
