[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a reminder that this is the MD Public Schools forum and this is a thread about RM Cluster Overcrowding.[/quote]

Thanks for the reminder!  Again, putting up more high density housing - hundreds of apartments/condos/townhouses - in a misguided attempt to support Rockville Town Center will definitely lead to even worse overcrowding at Richard Montgomery.  And Julius West MS for that matter.  [/quote]

What's misguided? According to the PPs, Rockville Town Center is a failure because it's too hard to drive there and you have to pay to park. But people who will live in the residential units near Rockville Town Center won't drive there and won't worry about parking. Lots and lots of people who will patronize the stores at Rockville Town Center on foot. Why wouldn't this support Rockville Town Center?

As for the "hundreds of apartments/condos/townhouses",[b] we've already established that this will lead to well under 100 more students at RM or JW[/b].[/quote]
RM is already overcrowded.  Why do you insist on making it more crowded?  [/quote]
Lots of people could drive there and park for free now...same as Pike and Rose/Rio.  They do not because there are not too many stores that people shop at regularly.  Clothing boutiques, jewelry stores, gift shops...sure once in a while but not as much as Dicks, Target, Kohls.  They need more anchors.  I hope the new Dawsons has a bit broader appeal..they said it was trying.  The library is what brings me there the most.[/quote]
