[quote=Anonymous]The gentleman representing (I believe) EBCA did mention the day care and the woman (who also seemed connected to that community) sitting next to him mentioned that the Lynnbrook site should be saved for a "future" elementary school. It was kind of weird. I was there, and I did hear that. I was also surprised at how quickly many of the sites were dismissed after very little discussion. I also got the impression that much of the discussion time was monopolized by representatives from Rock Creek Hills. There was a slightly heated exchange between a lady who was not officially there as a RCH rep but representing BCC cluster something of other and she was rebuked by this same lady who wanted to save the Lynnbrook property for a future elementary school. But ironically, while this blond lady had obvious ties to East Bethesda community, I also believe her official status was BCC cluster something or other. She rebuked this other lady by telling her she was not there to represent her community (RCH) but rather the BCC Cluster something or other (long title). It did seem like a bit of hypocrisy on the part of Ms. Let's Save Lynbrook for Future Elementary School.

There must be a better way to pick a new school site. I also believe that parks should not be 6 out of the 10 sites (public) that are (were) up for consideration. Because one by one they will start to disappear. Though perhaps, once they do start eye baling Norwood, maybe the majority that now seems to rule will "get religion" and start realizing that this is not just a problem of the NIMBY less affluent neighborhoods.

Why is it some people can't look at a forest or a meadow without seeing wasted space?[/quote]
