[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tried to quote/ copy the PP's posting with gerrymandered maps  of GHS and QO. These are exactly a result of past attempts to zone based on diversity and income. QO has the weird shape because MCPS did not want it to be entirely white and low FARMS. They included Brown Station and sent the Diamond elementary school to NW to balance out numbers in NW. If you rationalize QO then it becomes the next less than 10% FARMS school and NW becomes a high FARMS school.

GHS boundaries also represent trying to balance what was once the poor and MC areas of Gaithersburg. Believe it or not but Montgomery Village and the areas up to the north used to primarily non FARMs and white. The areas are now are much more low income but the weird section to the north is still MC/UMC white. Again if you rationalize GHS it stays low income and potentially increases.

Wootton's only strange boundary area is the small island up in RIO. Most people in Wootton don't even know that this small section zones to Wootton. No idea how it got into Wootton.

People in the west and upcountry would be perfectly fine with local boundaries in normal shapes but this is going to end up going in the opposite direction of racial balancing and diversity.

All of Wootton's boundary is strange. It's width is 4X it's height. These are boundaries are obviously gerrymandered.[/quote]
