The old Steamers property that is part of the future site of The Claiborne condos at 4820 Auburn Avenue has been an eyesore for years, as the development has repeatedly stalled out. Although 4820 Auburn, LLC is now attempting to once again move the project forward, the abandoned property is growing even wilder. Dense plant growth is now spilling over the top of the fencing into the right-of-way of the public sidewalk. More proof the asleep-at-the-switch Montgomery County Council is rarely in Bethesda, as this has been an issue for years and is only getting worse.

Call 311. Why is everything the council’s fault?
3:30: Because they're getting paid $147,000 a year to take care of this kind of thing. What are they doing with their time? They didn't even go to work for two years. I'm paid nothing by the taxpayers, and I do more to get things addressed then the Councimembers have.
Time for another walking tour by our councilperson? I'm being gender neutral.
Anyone doing much walking anywhere in the county will encounter overgrown shrubbery blocking sidewalks in front of active businesses and occupied houses, not just vacant lots. Either DOT or Code Enforcement could keep a full-time employee very busy writing up all the inconsiderate property owners who allow their vegetation get out of control, to the detriment of their neighbors just trying to walk down the sidewalk.
In what universe in an overgrown bush the county council's fault? Like you think they haven't appropriated enough money to code enforcement? Has this bush been reported and ignored? Or do you think councilmembers are issued gardening sheers upon being sworn in?
In every universe. The Council is on the record as choosing not to allocate the needed money for more code inspectors. Equally important, the Council should be getting out and about in the jurisdiction they are leading. We're certainly overpaying them enough! Maybe they should start actually earning some of those six figures they're getting.
So the bush has been reported to code enforcement and it was ignored? I've never had that happen to me. Please let me know the date and report # and I'll follow up with the department.
Surprised you haven’t mentioned the cartel which you have never explained who is on it and how it operates.
