Agree it’s in the table. Parents who oppose it should organize now.

But if it does happen, many parents will move/go private to avoid it. That’s just the reality. [/quote]

Many will not due to lack of space at privates and cost.  Most of us cannot afford $50-70k per child and that money is better spent on college. [/quote]

Good thing Sandy Springs is keeping the doors open.

To buy a house in the neighborhoods they are talking about busing East, a family needs to make $500K plus.  I’m guessing there is room in that budget for private schools.[/quote]

As noted upthread, the median household income in the Chevy Chase zip code is $200k.  So more than half the households in CC definitely aren’t making $500k plus.[/quote]

Single family homeowners, the new ones at least, do.  I could never afford my house if I had to buy it today![/quote]

That may be true or may not.  If you’ve got data that would help support the point.  There are also a ton of townhomes in CC, as well as apartments.  [/quote]

Google: how much do I need to make to buy a $1.5 million home?[/quote]

There are lower-cost apartments and some subsidized housing.  Also, less expensive parts are technically more Silver Spring and BCC pulls from Silver Spring as well.  But, less expensive home are still $800k+.  Some of the lower income familes may have inherited homes or live with family.[/quote]
