Golly, every other school in this country and the world is so economically diverse, what on earth is wrong with MoCo??

Actually, PPP had a good point. Churchill is over capacity so cannot take in substantially more students.

As for the "to repeat" poster all over dcum today, maybe instead of whining here you put your talents to use in real estate development.  Pitch your grand housing idea to some investors, apply for section 8 aid and whatever else you wish, buy some Potomac land, get your titling approved and build an apartment complex.  Maybe along the way you'll learn about commercial real estate, supply & demand, as well as how Potomac developed from large family-owned farm plots.  You might even meet some actual people who live in Potomac and like them, instead of attacking them on an anonymous board like dcum. [/quote]

Churchill is BARELY over capacity.

As for commercial real estate -- you might ask real estate developers what happens when they propose apartment projects in Potomac. Supply and demand has nothing to do with it. Current Potomac residents not wanting apartment-dwellers in Potomac has a lot to do with it. Remember when the county was proposing affordable housing at the Brickyard site? That was going to be housing for Montgomery County teachers and firefighters. Potomac reacted as though gang members from South Central were going to move in.

And it's interesting that you assume that apartments = Section 8. I guess you haven't paid rent on an apartment in Montgomery County lately. [/quote]
