In terms of people choosing not to live in areas with high poverty, its crazy to think that someone believes that [b]MCPS should have a say in where to allow people to live[/b]. Good grief. People 0white, black, asian, hispanic- will always avoid areas with high poverty if they can afford to do it. Why? Because high concentration of poverty correlates with high crime, poorly maintained properties and lower appreciation, and poor performing schools.

Nobody is saying this. What people are saying is that MCPS should have a say in school boundaries.

Also, the residential geography of Montgomery County didn't just happen by itself, like sunrise. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, people gotta live in neighborhoods segregated by income and ethnicity - nope. We have segregated neighborhoods by design. On purpose. Here's a bit of historical perspective to start with, and no, I am not the author: https://ggwash.org/view/70408/harland-bartholomew-the-man-who-zoned-washington-dc[/quote]
