Everyone knows this; however these boundaries have not changed for decades in some instances.  Its not unreasonable for parents to rely upon them when choosing a school for their child.  Nor it is unreasonable for them to fight when someone tries to take that choice away, especially if it means losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.  [/quote]

The argument here is that, if you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars (!) extra so that your house would be zoned for School A vs. School B in MCPS, your house must continue to be zoned for School A, because otherwise you might lose money when you sell your house.[/quote]

Property value is a function of (Age of home, Lot size, Distance to transportation and amenities, Public school catchment area, Taxes, Crime)

If MoCo or MCPS are known for pulling the rug out from under you (I.e. Changing school boundaries, increasing taxes constantly, etc.) people simply wont trust the county and won’t buy nor live here. It’s that simple. Even simpler than simple since DC and VA and other MD counties are so very close in proximity.[/quote]
