[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until that big black line across Kensington separating Einstein and WJ is removed and kids who can walk to Einstein actually are zoned there, it's a ridiculous exercise rooted in keeping the wealthy MCPS parents content and the rest have to scramble and keep changing their little boundaries to tweak +-5% FARMS rates above the median.

Kensington is one of the only nice places left in Montgomery County, whose schools and median household income levels have been deteriorating compared to the rest of the region for 20+ years. Tanking the property values in one of the only desirable neighborhoods in Montgomery County outside of Bethesda and Chevy Chase would be incredibly short sited and petty. Like PPs have said, MoCo is in a budget crisis and needs all the property tax revenue it can get. New businesses are flocking here. The feds aren’t hiring new people anytime soon. Property taxes are the main thing keeping the county and the school system afloat. In this environment you don’t intentionally kneecap nice neighborhoods property values. [/quote]
