[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][code]Hahah.. when MCPS first closed in mid-March due to corona, they provided food distribution sites so kids could pick up their meals. Here's a list of the 20 sites:

Notice something? Note one in Potomac, Bethesda, or Chevy Chase? BCC high school is more than 10% FARMS. They ignore this area for even basic needs like feeding kids.[/code]

I've seen this talking point before and it's still problematic. The 10% of kids at BCC who receive FARMS are overwhelmingly in Silver Spring, which DID have multiple distributions site.

Then, yes, the part of Potomac that received a distribution site is the only part with concentrated poverty.

How bad does your victim complex have to be to complain (likely from a $1m+ SFH) that resources intended for poor children are concentrated near the poor children. If you want food distribution so badly, be sure to advocate for low income housing next door before the next pandemic. [/quote]

Why are you against providing food to needy kids in Bethesda? There's plenty. There's whole buildings of low-income housing, like on River Road across from the 7-11, and the Fields apartment complex behind Bethesda Crabhouse.

They have over 40 food distribution sites, and not one in Bethesda? How does that make sense?[/quote]
