Planned housing development is opposed by local NIMBYs and gets local press coverage for it. That happens every day all over the world, and is a matter for local media, not an encyclopedia. WP:MILL, WP:NOTNEWS. We generally require more than local press coverage for inclusion, yet here all sources are local (even the WaPo article is from the local section). The mention at Talbot County, Maryland#Environment is more than sufficient. Sandstein 07:47, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

There are many examples of large planned housing communities that have dedicated wikipedia pages - see I'On, Gibson Island, Lakeshore East, etc. regarding developments that have immense local importance but which do not necessarily achieve national or international notoriety. Additionally, regional news sources can be reliable and valuable, nor are national media references always reliable and valuable by nature of being national. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashingcavalier (talk • contribs) 02:28, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
