[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your property value can change and sorry but there is nothing you can do. MCPS has the right to change boundaries. It sucks but there is nothing you can do unfortunately. I don’t think they care if some families move to private. It will not be a mass exodus so a non issue really. I say get on board and accept the changes or move out of MOCO if you don’t like it.[/quote]

Weird.  If the county enacts a policy to hurt property values, that's very different from property values changing due to market conditions.  A county that wants to actually hurt property values (?) would be, well, odd and defeating.  And their electoral chances would seem to be hurt.[/quote]
So property values are more important than providing adequate education opportunities across the county?[/quote]

they can be if they fund those adequate education opportunities.  And there appear to be more ways than busing to solve the 'adequate education opportunity' goal.  You don't have to hurt property values, particularly in this current budgetary landscape, while still providing 'adequate education' to all.[/quote]

It also isn't solving anything. Property values will follow wherever the perceived good schools are zoned for... families will start getting priced out of neighborhoods that could've provided opportunity. It's a cat and mouse game. You're not going to solve this with rezoning and all you're doing is creating long bus rides for kids and breaking up neighborhoods. There's no reason for that. [/quote]
