[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there are many families that are going to move over this

Sounds like all talk[/quote]
+1  I know a few parents in W schools.  They are not looking at going to private or moving.  We live in the RM cluster. We're not moving either. Or do we not count because we are not in a W cluster?

But, if people do move or go to private, that would alleviate some of the crowding, so .. bye, I guess.[/quote]

Right? This is sort of best case scenario. Stay, pay property taxes, but reduce utilization of the schools. I'm not seeing the downside here. [/quote]

The problem is if people don't stay in decent numbers.  That would cause a reduction in property and income tax collected, which would hurt on a county and state level.  Many of the wealthier folks in the county live quite close to VA and/or DC, making a move relatively less disruptive to their lives than other situations where people threaten to pack up and go.

Even if people don't leave, we are already seeing more people of means choosing Va or DC, causing MoCo property values (and therefore tax collections) lag surrounding areas.[/quote]

It’s not sustainable. It may be fine for a few years, but then people will start selling or not move in.
