You take that land by eminent domain and the cost goes down dramatically.[/b] There is a lot of land in close-in Montgomery County that has for years served the rich and powerful. Land is taken for highways and other public interests all the time. We need more schools and we need more affordable housing and diversity in those schools. Again, rather than pit the UMC against the LMC and working class, let's put the burden of increasing diversity and getting a better education for our LMC and working class citizens on the 1% of the county, not the UMC folks who are being vilified as "elites" even though they don't have enough money to send their kids to private school.

I guarentee you'd get more buy-in from people across the county (of all classes except the 1%) if you worked to achieve equity through up zoning eite neighborhoods like Chevy Chase, or outright taking over land of the 1% via eminent domain, than by the methods that are being advocated by these so-called progressives in the County, who will do everything to push "diversity" and "equity," as long as it doesn't upset their 1% donors.[/quote]

Here's the 5th amendment to the US constitution:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; [b]nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.[/b][/quote]
