[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you all hate poor people so much?[/quote]

No one here has said anything hateful.

No one wants to deal with the quality of life issues associated with lower income households, and anyone claiming otherwise is either naive or lying.[/quote]

NIMBY  much?[/quote]

DP.  NIMBY is understandable when YIMBY is really YIYBY:  “Yes In Your Back Yard” (not the politicians’ back yards).

They are ripping up Marshall by moving wealthy kids to Madison, creating a stranded Kilmer/Marshall attendance island, and loading Marshall up with low-income units. [/quote]

I think the Marshall parents were distracted by the potential rezoning of the townhouses next to Marshall to McLean--an insane boundary proposal--and after that battle, they were simply too tired to launch another effort to keep the upper income kids at Marshall.

I don't think Marshall will become like Annandale overnight, but I am shocked and surprised that the FCPS officials and board members conveniently forgot what happens when upper income areas are rezoned from less affluent schools to neighboring affluent schools. There's at least two current school board members that voted for the Annandale boundaries years ago. [/quote]
