[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as King Farm all goes to one high school, which my guess will be Gaithersburg. [b]So stupid to split a neighborhood[/b] up to two high schools [/quote]

Been divided at least 20 years, and we all seem to be doing OK in King Farm. [/quote]

As a current King Farm resident, I would prefer the neighborhood be in the same cluster.  It is stupid it’s currently split. Why make the default option that kids who lives in the same, walkable neighborhood don’t go to school together?  [/quote]

You must live on the Gaithersburg side 😂[/quote

i was just about to post the same thing🤣 i used to live on that side. we would make the same argument as the reason to get that side into college gardens. [/quote]

And now you don’t care because you moved a few blocks away? Gosh, such neighborhood spirit. [/quote]

Yes, it was that way when you moved in and you got a better deal on your house because of your cluster.  You want to ruin your neighbors’ property values?  Such neighborhood spirit![/quote]

Lots of false assumptions here.  I won’t address the personal ones but generally:

First: property values. The actual data shows that comparable houses, on both sides of the neighborhood, sell for comparable prices.  Actually, the townhouses on the north side have been selling for significantly more lately per SF than those on the south side.

Second: that this is a win-lose situation. Why not advocate for a win-win outcome?  Maybe everyone goes to Crown and loves it!  Or… some other win-win outcome.

I’ll personally keep advocating for better outcomes for my WHOLE neighborhood, not just my own family, and, gasp, even children outside my neighborhood.
