You so easily shift from lying about school capacity to pretending that only one school exists in the entire county.

Here is what the PP (you?) said:

Every singe elementary school inside the beltway is overcrowded. If there was an affordability problem for families this would not be true. These schools range in FARMS from about 50% to under 5%. So everything that you say is not relevant.

However, it is not true that every single elementary school inside the Beltway is overcrowded. In fact, the majority of elementary schools inside the Beltway are under capacity.

This is a lie. Keep on lying.

Shifting gears to the DCC, this liar doesn’t know that most of the ESs in the DCC he posted have add additions within the past 3 years to address over crowding due to increased enrollment. All of those schools are Title I or Focus. Apparently this much demand for education from lower income families in the downcounty should be impossible because it’s just so unaffordable. And yet, enrollment growth keeps increasing and the schools keep getting bigger.

Montgomery Knolls ES addition - 144 seats - 2020
Pine Crest ES addition - 184 seats - 2020
Piney Branch ES addition - 115 seats - 2021
East Silver Spring ES addition - 75 seats - 2022
Woodlin ES addition - 159 seats - 2022

Three of three schools the fabulist claimed, without providing any numbers or source just based on their own made of reality, are “under capacity”. Want to lie about crap? Go waste your own time.

Two things can be true- there is still more demand than supply downcounty, and many people cannot compete with the inflated, all cash offers and move further out. With the increase in telework/remote work, more people can make it work. If we were buying a house today, we'd probably be casting a wider net than we did 8 years ago.

The increased enrollments at many of the ESs are also part of the neighborhood cycles- over the last 1-2 decades, there has been a major turnover in our SS neighborhood as longtime residents sold their houses and younger families move in. MCPS wasn't really prepared for it.

You refuse to live in reality. Those schools listed are all 50%+ FARMS and they have figured out how to afford it. No one expects to move to highly dense Manhattan and complain they cannot afford to buy a house. If you want to buy a house and cannot afford Silver Spring, then go to where the houses are that you can afford. Otherwise find yourself a very nice and affordable rental like everybody else. Your sense of entitlement is crazy.

Your post is nonsensical. You think the FARMS kids are living in purchased SFHs? That is not reality at our neighborhood school, they are in rentals.

As to the bolded, this is what people are doing!! Some of you just seem oddly offended that not everyone can or wants to stay in MoCo longterm.

By living 3 families to a unit and/or in illegal rentals in detached houses.

Speaking of refusing to live in reality.

You think 50%+ of a school population are living 3 families to a unit?

Do you understand the income limits to qualify for free and reduced meals? They are obviously having to make some major sacrifices/compromises to afford housing in this area and yes, often it means living with another family.

You don’t know anyone whose kids receives a free or reduced meal. I know many. GFY.
