[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the North Bethesda Park option.  Good location and a good amount if land.[/quote]

What park are you even referring to?  And, why is somebody back to talk about how we should develop our parks?  If one more MoCo bureaucrat wants to tell me that today we have more parkland than we had 30 years ago, I will puke.  Because thirty years ago we had way more green space in this county.  It's just that every inch of that privately held farmland now has office parks and retail space sitting on it.  MoCo officials are pushing the southern part of the county to start looking like the Bronx.   [/quote]

Hey, I'm with you in the sense that they should stop building in the Bethesda/CC/Kensington areas that comprise the BCC closter, but if that is not going to happen then we need more schools.  What are the alternatives to parks?  Buy and raze a large number of houses?  I'd be for the state taking land from one of the two country clubs on Conneticut Avenue, but I think I'd be in the minority.

The only other option I can think of is to redesign the BCC cluster so that anyone outside the beltway is put into Walter Johnson, Einstein or Silver Spring.  Though that doesn't seem fair to those residents.

I used to live in East Bethesda and the dream of a new elementray school at Lynbrook has been around for years and years and years.
They need to give up that dream.
