[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The smart thing for the county to do is build school capacity to meet anticipated demand. When the county can’t grow because it hasn’t built enough schools, MCPS and the county council have failed. This isn’t all on MCPS. The county council has repeatedly gutted school funding — especially in urban areas where high-density development is concentrated — by lowering impact fees that developers pay to add school capacity. The fees had been set so that each new development paid roughly the amount of money required to add the capacity needed for that development, but the council has cut the fees because it prioritizes developer profit over building schools. [/quote] Agree! This is so frustrating. I completely understand the need for housing but developers need to pay their share otherwise it falls on taxpayers. The council needs to take care of their constituents not just their PAC donors[/quote]
