Supply and demand. Market forces.  Less demand  =  lower prices = lower property taxes.

How many rich people do you think there are who are going to move to Fairfax (?) or Howard (?) if MCPS proposes to fiddle with the boundaries of Whitman a bit?

If there really were enough rich people moving out of $1.5 million houses in the western close-in suburbs to Ellicott City or Leesburg or some such (though why would they do that?), there would be lots of people happy to move in. The quality of life in Montgomery County would improve.[/quote]
I really don't know how many people would move, and neither do you.  And I don't think these folks who work in DC would move to Ellicott City.

I do know that if you keep squeezing, more and more will eventually  move out.  I don't really know what that threshold is, but I can tell you that living in Rockville, I'm getting tired of getting squeezed with high taxes, over crowded schools, and cuts to school funding, and I'm seriously thinking of moving.  Plus, most of the jobs in our industry are in NoVa.

Up thread you or someone stated that it would be great if all those wealthy folks moved. My point is that if this were to happen, you would see revenue for the county go down, and therefore so would MCPS budget.[/quote]
