It is a pure power struggle.

Since no normal parent will ever send their child to a failing school, it is all about money. No one will ever compromise their child's education. If we are rezoned, we are moving. If the house drops too much value, we will declare bankruptsy and move.

You can change boundaries, maybe, but you will never get our kids.

We are thinking of selling now while prices are high and renting for a few years until it all shakes out. Then we may even be able to “buy low” in another area where market values will increase due to the boundary changes.

Honestly, probably smart, especially if you are in an area likely to be rezoned.

I also think you could balance a potential loss in Garrett Park by buying an “investment” property in Wheaton.[/quote]

Wheaton is not improving. An investment property if you buy something run down and just rent it out for the rental income and tax break could make sense but don't count on any appreciation.

If DCC folks are pushing this agenda because they think that their property values will go up then they are foolish. Wheaton is likely to only appreciate if the areas with better schools are not affordable. Wheaton doesn't become better because BCC goes down. BCC becomes more affordable and fewer people are forced to settle for Wheaton. [/quote]
