[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Westland and Norwood aren't terribly close in location, although I guess that would be further west than the first two tries. I recall there was some issue of a historic property at Norwood that got it knocked off the list last time around, but truthfully I always figured that this location as well as Lynbrook would provoke even fiercer and more deep-pocketed opposition than the Coffield or RCH options. Those are much pricier neighborhoods than Kensington and Rosemary Hills, and presumably a very high lawyer population who'd like nothing better than to organize a pro bono challenge to any community facility in their midst. But maybe I'm wrong? Maybe RCH is an anomaly, and other fancier hoods would be happy to have a school?[/quote]

These locations were and are well-represented on the SSAC, and thus, they will be protected.  For example, the first time around, Norwood was described as having only one access road.  It has at least four (and Norwood Dr. has a median strip, one lane in each direction, and a parking lane on both sides). Also, the first SSAC reported that Norwood was located in two different locations in the cluster, and both locations were inaccurate.  In reality, it is located toward the center of the cluster. This time around, it is described with perimeter trees and a co-op, both items mentioned for the first time.

The reality is that MCPS will never let that park be taken.  It is near the neighborhood of a key money Democrats.  Limousine liberalism is alive and well in one-party Montgomery County.[/quote]
