Everyone knows this; however these boundaries have not changed for decades in some instances.  Its not unreasonable for parents to rely upon them when choosing a school for their child.  Nor it is unreasonable for them to fight when someone tries to take that choice away, especially if it means losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.  [/quote]

The argument here is that, if you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars (!) extra so that your house would be zoned for School A vs. School B in MCPS, your house must continue to be zoned for School A, because otherwise you might lose money when you sell your house.[/quote]

It is not  "MUST". [b]But it is something people can care about and can fight for.[/b]
Just like some other people claim that they care about the welfare of low income groups  - it is not a MUST either.

And in fact people are doing this. The discussion is going like this:

Kids: We are for diverse schools!
Some parents: But our property values!

It's not a good look, when you get out or your bubble.[/quote]
