Wow.[/quote]

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]

There’s a pdf of each cluster. Try making an effort instead of being force-fed info and then complaining that you can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum of looking up what you want. [/quote]

You sound really angry - are you okay?

Your previous post implied it is easy to identify the housing in the pipeline for each cluster. But it would take at least an hour or 2 to compile the info for each cluster and compare them. The consultants should have done this and presented it.

Btw I added up 35,000 housing units in land use plans in the DCC. [/quote]  DCC is a lot of schools which doesn't really tell you anything but way to Math. [/quote]

Okay? Are you saying I should also take "2 minutes" to go through all the master plans and figure out how many are in which boundaries and how they compare to other school clusters? Shall I make you a table? Because this information is not disaggregated by high school in the DCC in the 400 page CIP that I'm supposed to be intimately familiar with and be able to pull out statistics from in 2 minutes.

Might I once again suggest this is something the consultants paid to do the boundary study should have done? The notion that if parents can't find information that isn't in a 400 page document, that's their own fault for not caring enough about their children, would be hilarious if we didn't know it's entitled wealthy White people (who "don't see race") saying that about Black and Latino families[/quote]

Blah blah blah "I want something so why didn't somebody else do the work for me".... typical.  If you care look it up go for it you have the source material, even if you figure it out, so what? Since the outcome isn't riding on anything from you nor does anybody really care about your conclusions you have plenty time to figure work them out with no rush.  When it's over you'll send your kids where the system tells you it will take them and that school will have the number of kids in it that show up on day one. [/quote]
