[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just charge every home buyer and home seller a $10,000 fee?  That would cut back the number of homes being sold and decrease the total increase of new kids.  Then they can use that money to pay for the new school.  [b]Problem solved[/b].[/quote]

Other problems created.

Also, a new high school currently costs about $155 million.

$155,620,000 divided by $10,000 = 15,562 sales. The number of households in Rockville is around 25,000.

Note that this would affect both buyers and sellers.

Also note that the Montgomery County Council did approve an increase in the recordation tax, as a way to increase capital funding for MCPS, and that Nancy Floreen's vote for the recordation tax increase was the likely reason why the realtors did not support her when she ran for county executive.

If we want to penalize people for bringing in new children for the schools then it makes perfect sense to race homebuyers and sellers of existing properties.  Why do you disagree?  Because it possibly impact you at some point.  [/quote]
