I don't believe I ever suggested you have to agree with every suggestion.  And I don't believe it would actually be a "massive increase in bussing" - unless, possibly, if you go with the Cambridge model or you are making every school 30% FRL. Our current busing is not particularly efficient.  And if you push the housing tool, over (a long time) you create more balanced economic diversity in various parts of the County which will require less busing for the basis of diversity.[/quote]

The "note the plurality there, toolSSS" seemed to imply an all-of-the-above approach... another poster explicitly reinforced that with the 'this isn't a salad bar' comment.  Apologies if I misunderstood.  Agree that the housing tool is really the most important one long-term and carries a multitude of positives (not just schools) without the corresponding downsides of other approaches.  For example, as the Lee Highway corridor develops I'd love to see affordable housing be well integrated into the planning.

To other poster, yes, I think optional busing via Cambridge model or what not is one thing, whereas forced busing is another and I would not support it.

Sorry for inadvertently participating in a hijacking this thread topic, I didn't realize, and will shut up now. :)[/quote]
