MCPS warehouse

It's bad enough getting contractors now to work on construction as it is. It would be five to ten years before something was up and running and the pressing need for space is currently a major problem. We really don't need to second-guess this at all.

Then build it on the empty land right across the street.

Comments like yours are what happens when decisions are made without a public process and full disclosure of all the options.

Why are you not making the same argument about classrooms? Should MCPS just lease commercial office space for schools? That would certainly get kids in better facilities quickly. Cost be damned. You will happy pay thousands more a year in property taxes.

They close properties, sell them, buy them back, demolish, build new facility...repeat.
