[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing will happen on boundaries. It was all Dem the last four years and nothing happened. There is no incentive for them to do anything on boundaries. They will just spend more money expanding the preferred schools.

T[b]he board doesn't give a squat about citizen input. [/b]

That comment make no sense in this context.  Fairfax County citizens hate redistricting.[/quote]

This is true ^^.  The only people who constantly obsess and gnash their teeth about redistricting are DCUM's finest - the ones who insist we must racially and economically balance the schools, regardless of geography.  Or maybe, in spite of geography.

So the citizens of this county, overwhelmingly liberal, want nothing to do with their kids going to school with the "undesirables". Limousine Liberals is how that is defined.[/quote]

I’m a liberal, and there is zero cognitive dissonance for me.  People on this board often seem to advocate for redistricting in order to soak the rich, not considering how disruptive redistricting would be to everyone involved.  I get that people are committed to equity, but to be laser-focused on it at the expense of all else puts you in the extreme wing of the party, and creates many more problems than it solves.

And sometimes I wonder if the people advocating for it own real estate in an area of the country that they think would benefit from redistricting.[/quote]

The people advocating for it want every school to feel like what one would expect from a Fairfax County school. It's a little absurd that many schools are far closer to resembling a poverty-stricken rural Texas town than a real representation of Fairfax County.

The people against it are the ones who feel that way primarily for real estate reasons. Just read the public comments from the last consultant boundary survey. E.g., "please don't change boundaries because our property value will go down."[/quote]
