I infer that you’re happy to gamble with other people’s lives, schools and home equity on the off chance that you’ll end up a beneficiary of this exercise.  I think it’s a giant crap shoot. MoCo isn’t so essential to the region that people faced with an unattractive option in MCPS can’t and won’t look elsewhere.[/quote]

Nope, I'm a homeowner in Montgomery County with 2 kids in MCPS. This applies just as much to me as to you (depending on you). i just don't follow the logic that MCPS must maintain socially-engineered school boundaries for the benefit of some people's property values.[/quote]

I applaud you for the rhetorical slight-of-hand, but the social engineering necessary to produce school boundaries that have “acceptable” demographics will greatly exceed the effort involved in creating the current boundaries, even accepting their quirks.  It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise.  Realistically, this is an exercise to reallocate wealth within the county and will lead to a net reduction in the value of residential real estate in the county.[/quote]

Agree with PPP - socially engineering boundaries to artificially inflate property values through segregation has to end. [/quote]
