Omg, so dramatic.

You don't lose 100s of thousands in cash when your property value goes down. Your mortgage stays the same. You have food and shelter and so much more. Good lord.

Oof. The lack of economic sense is a sight to behold, as is the twisting of words. Of course you have less money if your property value declines. It happens when you sell your house.

Yes, when you sell your house and your property value has gone down, you won't make as much money. That is the reality of property ownership. No property carries with it a guarantee of maintaining its value. You'll learn when you are all grown up and have a mortgage yourself.

And some of us need that money to send kids to college. We aren’t like you, who can afford otherwise.

It is truly not my fault, nor is it MCPSs, that you decided to lock up your savings in your home. You should have bought a smaller house or one in a less expensive area. That is just bad financial planning.

A home isn't savings. Its where you live and you take a huge hit selling it. Its very bad financial planning as it could tank or you cannot sell as too many on the market.

I don’t think anyone should feel owed the right to remain zoned to any particular school, but I do think people should be able to expect for their kids to attend a school within reasonable proximity to their house without needing to be bussed past three or four other schools at taxpayer expense.

If they want to offer people the option to sign up for optional busing, then maybe that’s ok. Still a waste of money, carbon and traffic but not the end of the world. But mandatory long bus rides are just terrible.

I am amazed by what I have to assume is this person from Chevy Chase. Should the poors also have better financial planning?

I think a lot of people can agree with this even if we wish our schools were less segregated and want to use our school buildings efficiently

Ok, I'm confused. So, you overspent on a house to get away from some of us, and then you cannot afford college. Sounds like a you problem. We bought a house we can afford and stayed so we can save and afford college, and have the house paid off before college. Would we like a big fancy house? Not sure, but I don't want the upkeep, maintenance, property taxes or stress. What you have. You cannot complain when you aren't willing to make the sacrifices.

what? I overspent on a house because the market sucks right now. I moved from DC to get away from regualry shootings in my neighborhood and don't at all have a fancy house. I put everything I have into it because I wanted my kid to feel safe and to be able to walk to school without that concern.

Plenty of places in MoCo are safe and aren't so expensive that you will lose "100s of thousands" because of a change in school boundaries

Certainly, the county should be invested in making sure that people don't buy homes here due to increasing home-buying uncertainty.

Look, I didn't say hundreds of thousands. That was the person saying she was fine if her home value tanked.

Oh give it a rest. Realtors have been crowing about this "uncertainty" for years and "warning" buyers about this. People seem to still want to live here and pay a premium for it

You can actually map the school boundary lines in zillow and redfin by the house prices. I don't know if they are hundreds of thousands, but the distinction is pretty noticeable.

I am the person who just bought and no, a realtor did not "crow" about "uncertainty" (? why would a realtor crow about something bad?). People want to live her for the schools. take that away, and the price premium changes. You know this, though. And think everyone is a sucker except for you.

A home certainly is savings, if you buy it and stay for say longer than 5 years. It’s actually an extremely important asset and investment. But totally agree you should try not to be house poor.

To the PPs who don’t care about losing $100 to $200k, wish I could be you. But I’m just a regular UMC person, trying to be kind and get through life.

If you live in a house with what are considered better schools, you aren’t poor. You overspent on your house. Lifestyle choices. The lower income will get financial aid.

I'm sorry, what do you think is a "better school"? What kind of weird dogwhistle is that?
