You’d think they would interact, no?

In what way? They have no role in the boundary study.

No. If some people's property values go down, others will go up. It's all the same to the Council. Sorry the government won't prop up your wealth.

Do you know that for a fact? Bc it seems like several options lead to overall decreases in property values versus a zero sum game.

Property values should not be the priority. Student needs should be. You don’t care about the kids, just money.

Property values fund schools. Caring about property values is actually caring about kids.

Option 3 still has most kids going to a school close to them. Most property values will not be impacted. Some will go down, some will go up, and it will be a wash. Be more worried about DOGE.

No it does not. And again you have no way of knowing it will be a wash.

Oh my goodness, yes it does.

It also has some pretty nice areas with SFH zoning in the DCC rezoned to BCC. Those values have been rising and this would give them another big push up. And the Veirs Mill and Highland ES areas that would be zoned to WJ would be completely transformed in 10 years. So many teardowns. This will be amazing for property values in some pretty dense areas.

It sucks a little bit, but if I lived in Woodward I would just sell now and move down the street to WJ.

Prices might not go down in Woodward but I think appreciation there will lag WJ by a lot going forward.

Option 3 really is all over the place. It actually puts us at a closer school than what we're zoned for right now. And it's the only option that does. lol. So it's good for us, but I know we're just one tiny pocket of the county.

Living down the street is not a guarantee you’d go to the school.

Why would DCC people want to be rezoned to BCC?

The floor for Woodward would still be higher than RM. With regards to price range and type of homes built over the long term, Woodward will be more similar to RM and WJ more similar to Whitman.

All schools in the county have issues and a bad curriculum.

Sad, but true.

All of those islands in option 3 mean people aren’t living close to the schools. Why is this hard.

Option 3 is the most busing = kids not close to schools.

Not option 3 specifically but BCC is not far for Woodlin, etc. It's not even further than Einstein depending on where you live.

I don't see a scenario where Ashburton is not going to WJ.

There’s gotta be some budget discussion. MCPS can’t possibly operate in a budget vaccuum. Or maybe I am overestimating the competence of the county government.

Pretty sure CC didn’t see a scenario where they didn’t go to BCC but here we are.

CC not going to BCC is not happening. That would be stupid.
