Again, thank you for reenforcing my point. WXY was specifically hired to do outreach to obtain the opinions of people they thought would support busing. They still couldn't find anyone. So either WXY is terrible at their job or no one supports busing or, most likely, both.

The contract with WXY is a public document. Please cite that clause in the contract that states that.

States what?

I would spell it woke-ies, actually. Or maybe wokies, but that looks too much like wookiees.

In any case, with people like you on his side, it's not surprising that Steve Austin lost big in 2018.

Steven Austin lost because he was so new to MoCo he didn't know that a Republican can't win here. The next proximity-first candidate will be a Dem.

Steve Austin lost because the voters didn't want to buy what he was trying to sell. Especially with people trying to sell it like you're doing here!

I mean, the point that PP was trying and failing to make is that there wants a mass Exodus due to busing and there was. Property values also fell 15% and never recovered. That's just getting moved to RM which is still a good school. Imagine if that neighborhood had been bused to Rockville or Wheaton. Those houses would be worth 30% less.

Property values in Horizon Hill are still 15% lower than they were in 1987? Oh wow.

15% lower than the properties across the street that are assigned to Wootton. Try to keep up.

I bet the people who moved in after 1987 (i.e. likely almost everyone in Horizon Hill) have appreciated that.

Right. But what they don't appreciate is not attending the high school located (checks map) 300 yards from their neighborhood. #walkerswillremainwalkers #notheywont #busing

Are you really using a 1987 boundary change in an attempt to claim that the 2018 policy revision will lead to walkers being bussed?

The boundary analysis says you're wrong. 90% of the county said they eschew diversity in favor of proximity.

I'm using a 1987 boundary change to show how busing negatively effects neighborhoods. And that was before the BOE altered the boundary policy to make diversity the top factor. Just imagine how much MORE busing there is going to be in future boundary studies.

Honest question. How do you differentiate what you want from busing? They seems nearly identical to me.

Or, instead of imagining things, we could take a look at the four actual boundary studies conducted under the revised policy, and see that the changes made were reasonable and that diversity was not in fact "the top factor."

I'm using a 1389 battle in an attempt to show the dangers of the Ottoman Empire to Moravian Serbia.

+1 is Steve Austin a Republican? I know he is a racist and a homophobe so not surprised, but BOE elections are nonpartisan, so his party affiliation was not on the ballot and would not have been apparent to voters.

Honest answer: You don't have any idea what I want.

People like the current BoE. They reelect them by a landslide. These fringe single-issue candidates aren't ever going to get elected here.

It wouldn't have been if there hadn't been a smear campaign against him run by the Washington Post and east county progressives.
