Yup and WJ is now at sub 80% capacity. Shows what they care about. [/quote]

This makes sense there’s so much MFH development proposed in the current boundary near the mall for example. Need to leave capacity there vs filling it up. [/quote]

Wouldn't it be nice if they documented how much housing is in the pipeline within each boundary? They could do that, but since I doubt they actually did that analysis my guess is this isn't the reason. Vague vibes that "there's so much MFH development" in a particular boundary is not a good enough reason to leave some schools overcrowded and others significantly under capacity.[/quote]

Or just go look at the MCPS Capital Improvement Program and you’ll see the authorized number of new developments tied to each cluster.  I did this in two minutes. WJ has 11,340 units approved but unbuilt and only 440 units are single family homes. [/quote]

You're referring to a 400 page document. No, most people can't find this info if they don't know it's there and where it is. Certainly not in 2 minutes. Care to share?[/quote]

Btw I found the number you are referencing.

No, there isn't a clear table comparing "the number of new developments tied.to each cluster"

There is a narrative in each cluster chapter that includes information on housing included in approved and proposed land use plans. For the DCC, those total over 35,000 units.

I do not see any indication that the consultants did a rigorous analysis of the development pipeline.[/quote]
