[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where people want to live is irrelevant discussion for this thread. People can chose to live wherever they want to live. Builders can build wherever they can make profit. None of that is relevant here.

Only question is - Should city make crowding situation worse in school when school is already over crowded? Rational for increasing 110% to 120% in 2015 was to align county interest with city. That reason doesn't exist to increase it more.

Moratorium is due to some reason and it's not done due to some one randomly thinking about it.

Increasing limit will simply decrease the quality of life for citizens in Rockville. It's not a rational option. [/quote]

Where people want to live is very relevant. If nobody wants to live where the City of Rockville would like to encourage more housing (around the Rockville and Twinbrook Metro stations), then there will be no effect on school enrollment. I.e., the schools won't really become more crowded. So it's fine to build.

On the other hand, if people do want to live where the City of Rockville would like to encourage more housing, then it's not really an issue of "overdevelopment". It's simply an issue that school capacity is not increasing as fast as (projected) enrollment This is precisely the issue that Mark Pierzchala wants to address, as I understand it. He thinks that this would be a way to[b] get MCPS to increase school capacity more, and more quickly, [/b]in Rockville. Which is what everybody wants, right?[/quote]

What?  No way!  That makes zero sense.

Nobody with kids in MCPS wants to see their school capacity to increase.  Especially in overcrowded clusters.  Builders want to do this, so they can build freely and excessively.  Parents do not.[/quote]
