[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When has school capacity ever been built out before residents came to fill it? There are literally plots of land in King Farm and Fallsgrove for schools that MCPS isn’t building ahead of time.[/quote] Different when there's a large greenfield plot that gets planned out, with spaces reserved for later school building and infill or upzoning in an already developed communities where there aren't any large open plots to use other than parks, which are too few anyway. Any place inside the beltway or along 355 or the like typically has more students than capacity already. MCPS and planning don't operate arm in arm and that's part of the reason why. Overcrowded schools and other infrastructure shortfalls don't make for a great community, so residents are forced to advocate when developers, politicians and their operatives plan to shoehorn something in. Development isn't the problem. Poorly planned development is.[/quote]
