[quote=Anonymous]My friends, after a similar experience in another state (redistricted / lost money, had to move because obviously they were not going to send their kids to a failing school to make social justice warriors feel better), decided to never buy again.  They choose not to be invested in the real estate since clearly county governments do not respect social contracts.  My friends instead buy rental properties.  It's a little more hassle, but at least they feel that their family is never on the line, only their money.

My other friends whose kids graduated top public schools and went to Ivies immediately sold in HoCo and moved to a nice area with a terrible school district and with easy access to metro / decent commute to DC (although they don't need it, more to ensure appreciation), just to be out of the whole school boundary war zone situation.  Their house could be reassigned to a failing school during this bound of redistricting in HoCo, so they were smart.

We chose to buy in a (somewhat) "buffered" zone, or at least we hope so.  If the bussing is bad enough, the buffers will fall.

The school redistricting is class warfare.  It is completely clear to any casual observer familiar with data analysis that the achievement gap cannot be solved in that way.  The redistricting is done to punish the professional class.  I am rather curious how the professional class will fight back.[/quote]
