[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You buy a home, OP, not a high school. Things can and will change. [/quote]

Let's say hypothetically that you're an upper middle class family with young children. You are willing to pay to place them into to a great school district.

In your price range, you can afford a home zoned to a premier MCPS school. However, the only homes in your price range are in [b]an area that could be rezoned - although there is no need for them to be.[/b]

Alternatively, you could buy a home slightly further out in a location where there is only one set of schools nearby - there is no risk of being redistricted out. The academics of these schools are neck and neck with the premier MCPS school. The homes are far less expensive.

Do you think it makes sense for this family to move to MoCo?

Do you think MoCo should care about attracting young, upper middle class families during a time where they are bleeding population?[/quote]

With two new high schools being built, there is an actual need for multiple neighborhoods to be rezoned. [/quote]

Some neighborhoods need to be rezoned, true. Others don't, and maybe they won't be. The current scope of redistricting plans is broad and vague, and this uncertainty is a considerable deterrent to choosing to raise a family in MoCo.[/quote]
