But if an exodus to VA (or DC as their schools improve and people value proximity) actually occurred, how would the county fund the various (expensive) progressive policies its leadership and voters want?  We already have budget shortfalls with an exodus of our largest taxpayers.

I am sure it is satisfying to say good riddance, but if that were to actually happen, it would be the poor who are hurt, not the rich folks who took their money/tax dollars across the border.[/quote]

If lots of rich families in Bethesda made the nutty decision to pick up and move from expensive housing in MCPS (which is not perfect) to expensive housing in FCPS (which is not perfect) -- then the housing in close-in Bethesda would become more affordable to the rest of us. Yay![/quote]

Wow, you really don't understand where the county's tax money comes from?  You really don't understand how county schools and programs get paid for?  If the upper middle and rich flee, you might get a house in Bethsda but it will not be the Bethesda you so covet.  Remember when Wheaton used to be nice? Less expensive houses won't produce the same taxes.  Taxes will go up to make up the shortfall. It will be county wide crap for everyone left behind.

The W kids will be gone too.  It's the kids from educated upper middle families that keep the scores high and the schools safe.  W schools aren't special or different in any other way than the kids within the walls.  It's the same crappy Montco failing curriculum every other local public school has.

Class envy is a insidious.  You take those tax payers for granted and you will shoot yourself in the foot.[/quote]
