[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not theft and it’s dumb for people to argue that it is.  It’s not and it just makes you look stupid.

It sucks to potentially lose a lot of equity in your home.  But it can happen for a variety of reasons.  It sucked when people who bought in 2006 and 2007 were “underwater” in 2010, and this will suck for some people too.  But it’s not theft.[/quote]

It sucks when the counties around here decide that they deliberately want to [b]screw over those that worked hard to get what they have[/b]. Which is EXACTLY what this is. Government will make this change and cause people to lose value in their homes, in favor of others. That is the very definition of Robin Hood style theft.[/quote]

Probably lots of people in Howard County have worked hard to get what they have, not just people who own homes currently zoned for River Hill High School.[/quote]

^^^In addition, the homes zoned for River Hill High School have their current high value BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT DECISIONS. Which favored some people (the people zoned for River Hill High School) and disfavored others.[/quote]

Goverment doesn't dectate where people settle their families.  The families make their own decision on where to purchase and to move.  schools dont determine the outcome of the students.  Incontrast, the students determine the outcome of the school.  Moving whole River Hill HS to anywhere in HC will change the fact that RHHS is a great school.  Students who perform well on test will perform well in any school.  Students who are acadamically challenged will not perform well no matter where they attend school.[/quote]
