Born and raised in Frederick. Moved back about 7 years ago after living in MoCo and felt so happy to be back there. Less traffic - it took about 10 minutes to get from one side of town to the other, was a hop skip and a jump from rural beauty and mountains, and cost of living was right where I wanted it to be. Was proud to be back .Fast forward to this year, we just moved to HoCo. Traffic is horrendous everywhere in town, it no longer feels rural at all, and the cost of living is ridiculous given how crummy infrastructure/school system is. I miss my home town - but it will never be the same.
When I was a boy there was a horse farm beside U MD in the 50s, and the trip from Bethesda to Rockville in the 60s was through farmland. Gaithersburg was a post office and a country store, no more.
In 75 we lived in Rockville. It was considered the best town to raise a family then. When we flew the coup, we started in Germantown because Rockville was too expensive for us and we wanted to be near the farms on Rt. 118. Then the farms were gone and sf homes started atound $350,000 so we moved to Frederick County to be surrounded by farms and trees. Our new house was $190,000. We could afford that and for 25 years we raised our kids here. Today, Frederick is turning into MOCO II. The farms are being bought out, there are stop lights and bike lanes popping up to help handle traffic. Rt. 15 needs to be I270 6 lanes extended past Rt.26 asap. What a mess!
Sorry to say, but that mentality of DC Monty is infecting Frederick as they move there since it’s easy to commute (thanks, 270), and vote the same. It’s not just increasing population, it’s the mentality of population that will not realize they have to leave behind everything, including the way they think. It’s why those places were nice - not that same government-loving mentality.
I remember when Frederick was a no name country town. The Newspaper used to be printed downtown and there was hardly any traffic- late 1980s. Now it’s just an extension of Montgomery County. The trough traffic on Rt 15 is just awful. I am glad I left years ago.
Having lived in the area for about 23 years, its really sad to see Frederick making the horrible car-centric planning mistakes that every other city in America seems to be making. It is great to see that they are extending Carroll Creek though, that will be nice. I think the Brickworks neighborhood could be nice, but again, I see too many parking spaces, not enough green spaces, and yeah the style of architecture is horrid. Make it match all the beautiful brick and masonry in Frederick. Its crazy to have seen this small town turn into a city.
@@TheCastedone Oh I know. You see it everywhere. But really it's less the developer's fault and more the city council or whatever body approves new developments. They only care about making money... not adding value or beauty to the city they vomit their vinyl sprawl all over.
I always thought of Frederick, MD as a city. I didn't know it was a small town? I am actually thinking 🤔 if visiting Frederick in a couple of months. I haven't been to Fredrick since I was a kid, 40 years ago!
We have old friends in Frederick we've visited since the 80's. No problem with change as long as its smart change, and that's not happening overall. No plans for traffic increase, no attempt to compliment existing architecture, just too little in terms of infrastructure. Carroll Creek at least resembles a semblance conscious planning.
From reading many of these responses, I get the definite sense that many of you live in a nostalgia-addled fantasy, where you will only be happy if your surroundings remain exactly as they were when you were growing up as a child. The fact is that Frederick is growing fast and HOW it grows, not WHETHER it grows, should be our highest concern. We moved to the area when, to someone coming from another city/state, Frederick was distinctly quieter, slower-paced, and more pastoral than all destinations to the south along the 270 corridor. This to me was the best reason for living here. That's changed as the population has grown and continues to change, and to be honest, our moving here contributed to that growth. Therefore, it would be quite hypocritical for me (and anyone else who has moved here in the last 40-50 years) to issue blanket condemnation to all future development. Instead we need to be wrestling with HOW the development proceeds. For example, do we want to have a 30,000 unit Urbana-style development, where every square foot of space is packed with townhouses, directly adjacent to downtown Frederick, or something on a smaller scale that is designed to be complimentary to the existing character of the area? How much open space are we (as a community) willing to pay for, and fight for, in and around these new developments? How much tax advantage are we (again the engaged citizens of Frederick) willing to trade for ensuring that businesses locate and remain here and adhere to environmental regulations. All of these things have to be dealt with realistically. Falling back on the 'when I was a kid everything here was green and beautiful' sentiment will not help with these issues. There is no going back, only forward, and there are smart ways to do it.
Couldnt imagine being as small minded as your being here. You ever think about the traffic and pollution you city people are bringing with ya? Not mention your kicking out all the wildlife for your ‘brand new’ $500,000+ poorly built homes. The farmers who lost their land just to afford to be able to live still? Or how bout the people who have lived in frederick their whole lives being forced to move because county taxes keep going up because people like you i assume keep moving here
There’s also a project to build a hotel at the site of the old Frederick News Post building, corner of Patrick and Carroll Sts. More traffic for downtown.
going north on East street regularly gets backed up, even when its not rush hour. Added 2k+ residents just south of there will self-destruct the city. These developers either are not from the area or don't seem to care because profits are more important like with the low-quality housing they are building at Renn Quarter
Another great video Eddie. All i have to say is i absolutely love Frederick ill call it home soon. I would have to say all that development takes away from the style and charm of what Frederick is especially renn quater when i seen it i was like no way. 😊

Haven't lived in Frederick in years, but my parents still do, and they like to take me out and show me what has changed when I visit. Nice to see Carroll Creek get extended. While the whole development has been a mixed bag over the years, getting more trails that lead into downtown is a good thing. Don't really have much of an opinion about the other developments, other than the first one is kinda ugly. But, I find that a lot for alot of new construction.
I moved here 2 years ago because it was what I could afford and I love this town. If it keeps growing, we need the infrastructure to grow with it! How is the traffic so bad? We need more crosswalks by the way, especially on Motter and Fairview where I live. But they're about to construct a weird looking round about. I talked to the surveyors! Is that really going to help? There are accidents there frequently and it's risky crossing the street.
@@movingtomaryland Is there not any local discussion about car free options? It's such a nice dense town, it seems strange to not consider development that would let people live there without the need for parking. great video!
@@callumwayman7625what? You mean bike trails messing traffic up? I was an avid rider, in the 80s. Seems u agree with New World Order plans - everything u need within a 20 meter walk. Glad I'll likely be gone by then.😊
I live downtown. Many of the most desirable, beautiful homes that give Frederick the sense of place it has, have no dedicated parking at all. Yet, it’s unfathomable that new homes and businesses speak the same language? A walkable incremental city grid is a return to traditional values. The way Frederick was originally built and envisioned. It’s not a naive, radical idea. We have enough strip malls and car lifestyle in 99.99% of US land area. Let’s build downtown for humans, thanks.
In ten years Frederick is goin to be 100% subsistence farms / homesteadin. By this achievement the good folks will have been sifted out from the good-and-evil mixed crowd.
I’ve been wondering what they’re going to do with all the open space at Jefferson technology. Heard there was going to be a movie theater being built here and shopping center. Haven’t seen any of it yet
They likely signed an agrmt, years ago, following U.N. wishes. Most places have. I've lived in and nearby for 40+ yrs. MUCH has changed - not for the better. We left our Fred city home in 91, Feeling repercussions of Zoning allowances that began the downhill descent, and crimes. Went up to PA line, to a 6+ acre farmette in Highfield. Even that calm, clean-smelling, peaceful place changed, over the last 30+ years - not for the better. USA, in entirety, appears to be NEW world (dis)0rder now. Uh oh. 😢. The youngers say, "it is what it is", and ignore civic issues - happy being told to comply, while digital dementia takes 'em over. Glad to be my age, and at least remembering lawful days with respectable/respected Authorities.
I have lived in Frederick since 1976 and since then the developments of houses has caused horrible traffic backups and overloading the schools to where the school portables to handle the kids are starting to look like trailer parks around the schools. The housing development has to be stopped!
@@Adam-bh4zp We would have to build more elementary, middle,and high schools also but still it would be much, much, better to STOP building housing. The only thing that would help in housing would be to limit houses to 1+ acre lots and stop townhouses and apartments!!
@@stevehayre2697 I think that developers will build housing where there is demand, and I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. People have to live somewhere. Think of it as more property tax revenue for schools
I have no bias toward or against Renn Quarter, BUT I haven't heard anyone talk about a smell and I've also been there many times without ever noticing. Do you happen to live there?
This is just in or near city limits. New Market and other areas are exploding with development. And Maryland almost never responds with infrastructure (road) development. It'll be like Mont. County, but an hour longer to DC.
I never left Frederick Maryland I have been here my entire life I am playing music from my TH-cam channel as I walk or ride my Tricycle around Frederick Maryland in my White Ribbed Cuffed Sock feet I rarely wear shoes since as of July 3rd 2024 at 5Pm.
With all these cancer labs coming, it's going to make it too expensive to live in Frederick. The average starting price for a home is already at $500k....Let's also talk about the traffic. The streets of Frederick can't handle the extra traffic.... All of these new developments are ugly. They all look like prison compounds.... It's going to be interesting with the park they're going to build at the end of Carroll Creek. That whole area floods with heavy rains.... Also if you move to Renn Quarter, be ready to smell the sewage plant across the street, having planes take off and land and in May the Frederick running festival. Monocacy Blvd is a part of the course and the road will be closed for a couple of hours. Don't complain about it, that race has been going on for 23 years... I wish they would stop destroying Frederick. It's really sad watching this city change over the last 40 years 😢
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Frederick. I hear you loud and clear about the changes happening around town. It's definitely a lot to take in. Many residents share your concerns about costs, traffic, and the look of new developments. We appreciate you caring about the city and its future!
Frederick doesn’t need any of them until they have to schools and roads from all the incoming people. People who work in Frederick won’t be able to afford any of them!!
Frederick County has a policy that there will be no bus routes if they live within 1-1/4 miles for elementary schools and 1-3/4 miles for middle and high.
Before the city of frederick spends another penny on growth, they need to fix the busted sidewalks downtown. Seriously, I have no idea how a person confined to a wheelchair can negotiate those streets.
Hey thanks for commenting! I've seen big changes over the past 4 years, BUT because of the influx of new residents, we're seeing a lot more restaurants that are able to keep their doors open. If it weren't for Firestone's closing down, the downtown area would have a solid record the past few years!
That’s what I’m afraid of, whenever I have to drive to PG county or NE DC I know I’m there when I smell skunk weed. It’s always the ghetto areas, so it’s scary to think I’ll have to be smelling it here.
Thanks for the comment! These particular buildings are cGMP purpose-built buildings for bio manufacturing. Not semiconductors. It’s an expansion to the life sciences industry here in Frederick.
They did that throughout the 90s. You just see the surface stuff. I was involved, civicly - and just threw in the towel 20 years ago. It IS like MontCo now.
DR Horton is one of the worst builders in the country. Ryan homes isn't far behind. The 100 yr old homes in downtown frederick will long outlast the new builds
You mean like the depression we were supposed to have when Biden was elected, and then has been predicted by right wing pundits in the financial sector 24/7 since then?
@@mberk007 we would need a major catalyst for home prices in Frederick to decline. Inventory is still relatively low and rates are improving. If nothing changes we’d see healthy appreciation again.
@@Akrus15 Exactly right, weird and nasty. I think Frederick is overpriced compared to any place but Washington. There are plenty of opportunities elsewhere, including PA where I'm from and want to return to; big mistake not to have done that 25 yrs ago. I watch Peter Schiff, and he's predicting a destructive recession. Powell just gave WS a quick fix to promote Obama's re-olection and his own re-oppointment. I'm intrigued by the idea of speculating in just a handful of stocks. Unfortunately, the one I picked, CTAS, immediately wen parabolic and I missed it. WS has been celebrating the Obama win; hard to tell whether they will celebrate again when the Dems win or whether it will be a sell the news event. However, the Fed has been bailing out WS throughout the financial crisis that began in 1971. I know that Trump is a lifelong Dem, but the collapse of his campaign will destroy any chance Republicans can win Congress, for he is a Wrecker. The election is not close. Trump will be buried in a flood of harvested mail-in ballots. The Obamas are creating an authoritarian soviet-style people's republic. I agree with the 3/4 of the people who believe this country is broken, but I do not believe this is fixable. This country cannot lead the Free World. Other countries will have to figure it out. Trump is more likely to get shot than elected. I wrote a piece ten years ago called "Trump Triumphs at National Press Club." If he had done what he promised he would do, he would have been re-elected, but now he's just a failed apprentice, just like he failed at so many of his business adventures.
Overcrowded, congested, overpriced, ugly. Could these developers come up with an uglier design for these homes and buildings in general. Why ignore the cities history and historical architecture? When are developers going to learn modernist, minimalistic drab architecture has no appeal or charm. Not to mention homes will sell and resell for higher prices if they are of a more classic design that fits in with the surrounding communities architecture.
People need to stop voting for pro development county executives and council members. People are moving up from Montgomery County and are taking their crazy policies with them.
Thankfully they have a moratorium they can use now to prevent school overcrowding. I cover it some in my recent video: th-cam.com/video/Xs1ax9spYUM/w-d-xo.html The question is, will they use it?
Hey Maryland, is great - except for taxes, woke Government, and being ordered around by PG and Montgomery Counties. Gee, I wonder why this wasnt built in Baltimore/ YOU KNOW WHY!
I would caution if you want a nice place to live.. DO NOT MOVE TO FREDERICKS MD... it will be a massive developer nightmare, crowded schools, crime, and not enough cops, schools, and HIGHER TAXES..
I hate that Montgomery County people are moving this way, they are brining that rudeness, and not so friendly attitude into Frederick. Stay in Montgomery County with your aggressive driving.

one thing to be remembered.
passive voice.
Why not extend the red line to Federick
Or at least have a commuter rail that runs more often and on weekends
Even just another 270 lane to Frederick would be nice. But this is Maryland, where transportation dollars just seem to evaporate, as opposed to NoVA.
At least increased frequency for the MARC commuter train would be nice. Thing barely runs
Then the dirt bagss from DC can ride the metro come out and steal cars to drive back down to DC. I say build a wall.
Agreed! Any additional trains on the MARC rails would be nice.

I talk about this in my new video premiering today at 10:00am! th-cam.com/video/Xs1ax9spYUM/w-d-xo.html
All of them! Traffic sucks! Only get worse!
Frederick md called me but it said scam likey
Im in Urbana...terrible NO school bus...
Frederick County has a policy that there will be no bus routes if they live within 1-1/4 miles for elementary schools and 1-3/4 miles for middle and high.
Before the city of frederick spends another penny on growth, they need to fix the busted sidewalks downtown. Seriously, I have no idea how a person confined to a wheelchair can negotiate those streets.
Thanks for this comment! I would love to see Frederick use some tax dollars towards this.
Been to frederick a few times its definitely lost it's charm over the past 4 years.
Hey thanks for commenting! I've seen big changes over the past 4 years, BUT because of the influx of new residents, we're seeing a lot more restaurants that are able to keep their doors open. If it weren't for Firestone's closing down, the downtown area would have a solid record the past few years!
#1 of garanteed smelling weed whenever you go anywhere
That’s what I’m afraid of, whenever I have to drive to PG county or NE DC I know I’m there when I smell skunk weed. It’s always the ghetto areas, so it’s scary to think I’ll have to be smelling it here.
Clean rooms are for semiconductor manufacturing, not for pharmaceuticals. Good video, thanks!
Thanks for the comment! These particular buildings are cGMP purpose-built buildings for bio manufacturing. Not semiconductors. It’s an expansion to the life sciences industry here in Frederick.
Ugh... moved here to get away from Montgomery county. Lord help us, please don't bring Montgomeries politics and traffic here too
They did that throughout the 90s. You just see the surface stuff. I was involved, civicly - and just threw in the towel 20 years ago. It IS like MontCo now.
SAME ..little did i know that all of germantown had the same idea
Sadly developers and the county are not taking schools into account with all the new developments
I talk about a new moratorium than can be used by the county in my most recent video: th-cam.com/video/Xs1ax9spYUM/w-d-xo.html
We can see by the number of Commenters - Frederick is not far behind Balt, at this point, and alotta folks realize it.
DR Horton LOL!
Hey thanks for commenting! I take it you don’t like DR Horton. They’ve had some pretty large projects in Frederick recently
Now more problems in Frederick MD
DR Horton is one of the worst builders in the country. Ryan homes isn't far behind. The 100 yr old homes in downtown frederick will long outlast the new builds
@@buttaman34 I love the late 19th century homes in Frederick. Especially those with enclosed entryways, they have a ton of character
I will be surprised if home prices are higher next year given we are heading into a recession or depression.
You mean like the depression we were supposed to have when Biden was elected, and then has been predicted by right wing pundits in the financial sector 24/7 since then?
@@mberk007 we would need a major catalyst for home prices in Frederick to decline. Inventory is still relatively low and rates are improving. If nothing changes we’d see healthy appreciation again.
I lived in Frederick for five years and hated the Frednecks.
Why is that? We are considering moving there… are the locals weird?
@@Akrus15 Exactly right, weird and nasty. I think Frederick is overpriced compared to any place but Washington. There are plenty of opportunities elsewhere, including PA where I'm from and want to return to; big mistake not to have done that 25 yrs ago. I watch Peter Schiff, and he's predicting a destructive recession. Powell just gave WS a quick fix to promote Obama's re-olection and his own re-oppointment. I'm intrigued by the idea of speculating in just a handful of stocks. Unfortunately, the one I picked, CTAS, immediately wen parabolic and I missed it. WS has been celebrating the Obama win; hard to tell whether they will celebrate again when the Dems win or whether it will be a sell the news event. However, the Fed has been bailing out WS throughout the financial crisis that began in 1971. I know that Trump is a lifelong Dem, but the collapse of his campaign will destroy any chance Republicans can win Congress, for he is a Wrecker. The election is not close. Trump will be buried in a flood of harvested mail-in ballots. The Obamas are creating an authoritarian soviet-style people's republic. I agree with the 3/4 of the people who believe this country is broken, but I do not believe this is fixable. This country cannot lead the Free World. Other countries will have to figure it out. Trump is more likely to get shot than elected. I wrote a piece ten years ago called "Trump Triumphs at National Press Club." If he had done what he promised he would do, he would have been re-elected, but now he's just a failed apprentice, just like he failed at so many of his business adventures.
No matter how much you vote and complain, your politicians always do the opposite of what you demand them to do. Because they work for ....you???
Overcrowded, congested, overpriced, ugly. Could these developers come up with an uglier design for these homes and buildings in general. Why ignore the cities history and historical architecture? When are developers going to learn modernist, minimalistic drab architecture has no appeal or charm. Not to mention homes will sell and resell for higher prices if they are of a more classic design that fits in with the surrounding communities architecture.
New homes look like they're built with leftovers from Lowe's.
The "charm" of Frederick is superficial. It is three blocks of G-town and otherwise overpriced tract housing.
Curious what towns have charm throughout every single street outside of their downtown district
People need to stop voting for pro development county executives and council members. People are moving up from Montgomery County and are taking their crazy policies with them.
Thankfully they have a moratorium they can use now to prevent school overcrowding. I cover it some in my recent video: th-cam.com/video/Xs1ax9spYUM/w-d-xo.html The question is, will they use it?
Hey Maryland, is great - except for taxes, woke Government, and being ordered around by PG and Montgomery Counties. Gee, I wonder why this wasnt built in Baltimore/ YOU KNOW WHY!
I would caution if you want a nice place to live.. DO NOT MOVE TO FREDERICKS MD... it will be a massive developer nightmare, crowded schools, crime, and not enough cops, schools, and HIGHER TAXES..
Progressive is good. Just avoid progressives.
Under the soviet Obamas allied with Hamas.
I hate that Montgomery County people are moving this way, they are brining that rudeness, and not so friendly attitude into Frederick. Stay in Montgomery County with your aggressive driving.
Do you know how many car accidents happened in Frederick County before people even began to move in big numbers???
Literally your whole entire comment is false. Your no better than the Frednecks who supported Mike Hough.
buying a tenth acre with a 2k sq foot home for 500k+? its laughable.
Trash houses being built. Another Montgomery County.
I'd love to see a builder today making houses with some old-growth timber like they used to!
Your dumb
