[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at all the pushback from “the community” over MCPS trying to build a new ES in Gaithersburg to relieve overcrowding.

The pushback is because they want to take away park space, not because they want to build a school.  All this insane building, we need MORE green, open space, more areas for kids to play, not 100 foot "pocket parks" the Planning Board is pushing.

And yes, Smith IS responsible for overcrowding.  He makes the recommendations in the CIP.

Those saying 3 years isn't enough time for big changes, fine.  What has he done in 3 years that you think is good?[/quote]

I don't think there's "all the pushback". I think that there are a few loud people. It's their right to be loud, but that doesn't mean they're speaking for a lot of people.

Also, it's not because the school will go in park space. It's because there is a proposal to build something. The objectors are making the same objections that objectors make to any project anywhere. Is that Jack Smith's fault? Nope.[/quote]
