[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone likes to give MCPS a hard time for "targeting parks," and for selling property, but no one seems to blame the Parks dept. for possibly encumbering RCH.  Why is that?  If MCPS gave RCH to the Parks Dept with a reclaim, then why are they getting so much argument over turning it back into a school site?  Seems like either that site, or another Parks site in its place, should be used.[/quote]

You are wrong. Parks is not arguing that MCPS can't have Rock Creek Hills, it is the residents of Rock Creek Hills that are arguing.

Parks has only said that no park without a reclamation clause is available. And why would you say that another park (if not RCH) should be used in its place? Why does ANY park have to be used? Unless of course, it can be reclaimed by MCPS, then in that case Parks can't really object. But to say Parks Dept. should give up another park...why?

And BTW Parks did not encumber RCH, that was done by MCPS when they turned the property into a park. I don't think there is much that stands in the way of MCPS taking that property for a school...except the objections of the community.

And lastly, yeah, MCPS has blown it in terms of leasing out properties right and left. [/quote]
