Which kid doesn't dream about two hour buss ride twice a day. Who needs that extra sleep and extra rest and extra time
for homework.

No one has a 2 hour bus ride each way...

So what is the longest you think?

The longest bus rides are 83 minutes.

With an average traffic that is right? You know.. traffic?.

Kids have to be ten minutes before the bus on the bus stop. That makes what.. 93 minutes trip.

That is hour and a half. With very even non jammy traffic. Wow. That is more then hiour and a half,
and both ways that is three hours. Wow again.

That be direct bus to Blair because kids to other magnets must change the buss at Blair to catch the connecting buss so that will add another
ten fifteen minutes? Yes?

Their pensions, 401Ks, stocks, bonds, investment properties, cash in bank, 529 plans, cars in driveway you name it are their real assets.

Folks are not like in NoVa Amazon push or DC are not leveraging to buy large amounts of investment properties in MoCo

I only invest my networth in cars. What could go wrong?

Living in a car?.. hm.. not the worse option for MoCo.

Gonna wait it out and see what happens. It's too big an investment to go in blindly.

What if time is money?
What if wait would mean buying lower then why not wait?

Waiting until it is settled--what does that actually mean? Public school boundaries are subject to change. There is no "settled."

I guess it is not about IF they will change but more about HOW will they change.
Once people will have some information on how, it can give them the idea what
they want to do next, don't you think?

Nah OP is wise.

Plus, after the boundary dispute is settled, more homes will be on the market as the boomers start to flood the scene with supplies. For many older folks, their homes ARE their nest egg. A tidal wave of retirees is coming over the next 10 years. The taxes in the state also make it very unfriendly to transfer a property to your children, which is often a popular retort to the idea that there will be an overabundance of homes soon due to retirees. Without question there will likely be more homes coming to market soon that will lower prices or keep them in check, even when you subtract out only the minor fraction of homes that will be passed on to kids by their boomer parents.
