It is a housing issue. It is ALSO a school issue.[/quote]

Well, it goes like this.. [b]One buys or rents a house they can afford.[/b] If the only places that have homes for the poor are at a handful of neighborhoods, then that's where most of the poor will go. If you want to stop this trend then build affordable housing for the poor in more neighborhoods. Why should children have to suffer long bus rides as a result of years of faulty housing policy? [/quote]

Since your school is based on the location of your residence, it's also a school issue. Why should children have to suffer lack of opportunity in school as a result of years of housing policy?

Incidentally, describing it as 'faulty' housing policy is, well, faulty. The segregation was a feature, not a bug.[/quote]

Well it's a terrible feature that needs to be replaced. And the so called fix that MCPS presumably wants to implement is a bandaid. Fix the source of the problem. [/quote]
