Past Bethesda and Potomac residents made sure all the low-income housing in a few remote corners of the county.

Go fundraise, buy some land, raze it, and put up your “low income housing” in the middle of downtown BEthesda. The current low income housing costs $1m per townhouse and $500k per 2 BR so maybe you can subsidize the rent for a few decades as well.

Let the educated, dual income career working taxpayer families leave with their hard-working, smart children. And see who is left behind to pay taxes and generate the scores.

The board and admin will get exactly what they derserve for running a good school district into the ground.

Unfortunately, I truly don’t think the BOE cares. Admin certainly doesn’t care about staff and students.

Looking at heat maps of section 8 housing in moco shows it's been concentrated in certain areas. Think a good way to improve school diversity would be to offset the decades of redlining by putting this in places where it's presently lowest.

"Section 8 housing", meaning what, specifically? Housing owned by people/companies who are willing to accept tenants who receive money from the Housing Opportunities Commission for part of their rent payment, through the Housing Choice Voucher Program?

It means housing that people in the affluent areas of the county ensured was elsewhere.

Not sure how you'd map that, though...

I thought MoCo doesn’t have Section 8 housing.

Its my impression that some owners in Bethesda accept section 8 vouchers for their rental houses.

So instead of $1.2M it is $1.0M as section 8.

Don’t investment broker shell individuals bid on these and then it is actually a rental property a couple years later after the fake family moves in for a bit. $150,000/ unit in Chevy chase must have 10,000s in the lotto drawing...

So who’s driving the bus off the cliff if the Boe and district admin leadership “don’t care?”

No. If you have evidence that somebody is doing this, report them to the county. That's illegal.
