Councilman Marks opposed affordable housing changes three years ago

 HUD LogoWith much attention focused on the federal government’s recent support for new affordable housing initiatives, one Baltimore County Councilman spoke out nearly three years ago.

NottinghamMD.com received a copy of a letter sent by Councilman David Marks opposing the regulatory change in 2013.



The final rule was adopted by the Obama administration, and Councilman Marks said he never received a response.

“I have been very critical of this overreach by the federal government,” Marks commented. “There is a renewed push by the federal government for affordable housing in apartment and townhouse developments. We have a lot of dense development in the Perry Hall area, which is why I am trying to limit future growth through our rezoning efforts.”
