| Well this thread continues to be klassssssy |
By resourceful you mean good at taking resources meant for everyone and claiming them as your own |
That's option D. |
Please elaborate. This should be fun. |

Oh, I think the PP's comments were very honestly over-entitled. |
By clever and resourceful, PP means selfish and obnoxious. |
Some of us in the DCC make far more than WJ families, we just don't choose to live in the same way and save, save for college and make other lifestyle choices. Shocker. We pay more than our fair share in property, income and sales taxes. |
DCC and those who want option D take from those who pay more taxes (by virtue of being higher income you pay more tax), and claiming them as your own because your poor (yes, you and your neighbors don't make as much money... It's not just a lifestyle choice to live in a 1950s ranch or a 1960s era apt or next to MS13). The county's own data clearly illustrates the poverty and thus lower income in the FARMS data for DCC. By virtue of being FARMS, at double and triple the rates of schools like WJ, BCC, Whitman, you inherently pay less income tax because your income is lower. Your landlords pay your property tax. Your personal share of that particular property tax is also lower because the property are worth less than those in WJ, etc https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zOiiclIJIYTpJu8QkeZtMYQ_ho2xGcx7/view |
You need to educate yourself. Taxes are not fees. Where did you go to school? |
To be fair to the PP, the county council has started talking about taxes like they’re fees to rationalize some of their big developer handouts. The PP isn’t getting that concept out of thin air. MCPS is one school system. The programs available at every school need to be equivalent. If you want something different then pay for private. |
What does this have to do with Option D? What are your problems with it? |
I went to DCC schools. Grew up poor and poorly educated. |
To be blunt, it has the highest FARMS rates for Woodward and WJ than the others. Woodward crosses the "20% tipping point" where the community is less served. We don't need another bad school Moreover, it draws the map for areas that weren't meant to be included in the Woodward zone. By that I mean, current WJ has more development coming. Why push the limits to DCC more with this map? It will be a problem for WJ/Woodward espexially. County ignored this population boom in the rockville study for the elementary that became Bayard Rustin . |
Agree with this. Also, Wheaton area has many illegals/undocumented who don't pay taxes but use our resources. To believe otherwise is just ignorant. |
