[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's because apartments are where section 8 housing vouchers mostly go. While I don't always agree with apartment = poor,[b] our local school's rating dropped when a new apartment complex opened[/b]. The apartments aren't even that cheap, but I think they're the cheapest thing that low income people can afford in this area and [b]multiple families are living in each apartment[/b]. [/quote]

The 2 bolded are why people do not want apartments in their school zone.[/quote]

Multiple families can, and do, also live in houses with yards.[/quote]

But less likely to.[/quote]

Says who? To the extent that houses with yards are bigger than apartments, I'd say that they're MORE likely to.[/quote]
Home appraiser here - In the high Hispanic areas of the county, there are multiple families living [u]everywhere[/u] - house, apartment, townhome, etc.  4-5 mattresses per bedroom is not unusual at all.  This is 100% the reason there is overcrowding in schools located in these areas.  MCPS doesn't recognize this and it's not a part of their calculations.  They still use 25 year old models for estimating growth.[/quote]
