[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not too many people move from MCPS to DCPS for a reason.[/quote]
Yeah, home prices and space.[/quote]

Do you really think people in Bethesda cannot afford NW DC?[/quote]

I think PP was saying people move out to MOCO (which is a huge area) for either:  (i) more space at the same home price, or (ii) lower home prices for equivalent space.  $2MM can usually purchase way more house and land in various parts of MOCO (that are in-bounds for top performing schools) than Upper NW DC.  Not CC MD or close-in Bethesda, but plenty of areas.

Noone is arguing the reverse.[/quote]

We live EOTP and are OOB for a JR feeder. This is exactly the logic of our neighborhood friends. If you're moving out of your house "for the schools," you're also trying to get more space (indoors and outdoors) than your current rowhouse/condo/etc. There is a LOT more housing stock in MoCo that checks all of the boxes (schools, SFH with "enough" square footage, decent yard) than in NW DC. Maybe everyone is lying through their teeth, but I've heard "we looked and looked in the city, but couldn't find anything so that's why we ended up in Bethesda" a lot in the last few years.[/quote]
