[quote=Anonymous][quote]And the per capita income and proportion of lawyers is much higher near Lynnbrook. The original site selection committee ruled out Lynnbrook because the fields are already used by BCC and the streets are narrow and so the traffic issues would be tougher to deal with. [/quote]

Wow. Are you saying that whether a neighborhood gets school construction or not depends on the deep pockets and the ratio of lawyers? So...since Lynnbrook community is richer than the RCH community, they will successfully keep the school out? Really? Could the MCPS school system be kept from using property they already own by a bunch of deep pockets?

I am shocked.

But you are right about RCH needing to drop several pretenses. One, it is not about the process, it never really has been. It has been about the outcome. Two, it is not about an inadequate school opening form day one...it has always really been about losing their park. They should just be honest and say so. And they should also not be looking to pin their misery on another park. However, the Lynnbrook site is a viable option, already owned in part by mcps, and the streets are NOT too narrow for buses, as regular big yellow school buses already service the private day care at the site taking kids to and from 4 elementary schools. So...the bus argument is incorrect. [/quote]
