Busing cannot work in high traffic areas, period. I don’t want kids with hour+ commutes clogging roads, it’s not to anyone’s benefit.

However, I am ALL in favor of more rent-controlled housing in expensive areas. I live in Bethesda and it’s turning into Wealth central. Decades ago, it was an unassuming suburb. 
It is SO incredibly important to have a balanced population in every community. [/quote]

I am in favor of the busing that has gone on in the BCC cluster, but I do agree with your point about how Bethesda has been developed without any thought to inclusive housing practices.  I grew up in ChCh and can't afford to buy there or in Bethesda.  I have a rare, cheap rental home.   All the new rental/condo development is very high end.

It has a negative impact on schools -- there is a wealthy, privileged vibe at BCC that is very unattractive, worse than it used to be when I went there.

I like Bethesda because it is close to the metro and walkable, but I despise the wealthy, Range Rover, cluelessness that has developed in Bethesda. [/quote]
