| Chances are it is indeed a bureaucracy battle, with one of those being a *keep rural areas rural* using the infamous *quality of life* argument.
More often than not, the real reason for the opposition to such issues is resistance to increasing property values, which will lead to increased property taxes (value creep) which invariably leads to property sales (to developers) which leads to further growth. This is also the same area of the state that is home to Maryland's deadliest highway (and it's not I-95, but MD 404, including the duplex with MD 313). Despite all the deaths, there has been virulent (and at times rather vociferous) resistance to improving or dualizing MD 404 (and the duplex with MD 313), due to the fear of more people moving into the area. They are insisting on remaining rural, and are perfectly willing to pay in the blood of their fellow residents.
I'm a Maryland resident (though I was not born in the state, except for two years, I've always called Maryland home), and have traveled along MD 404 (including the duplex with MD 313), and I have seriously wondered about the attitudes of some of my fellow Old Line State residents. |
