Students can walk or take the bus. Parking has mainly been for staff and extra go to students with legit needs.

Woodmoor loves being close to Blair for the DCC lottery, but is NOT a good neighbor to the school.
Oh stop it. Blair students get high in the neighborhood, wandering around when they feel like ditching school. They litter, and because there are not enough parking spaces in Blair's parking lot for them, they crowd the neighborhood streets with their vehicles. Residents might need to have deliveries or people do work at their houses - but it's tough to find a place for these vehicles to park on some streets.
Woodmoor neighborhood: please note the following link and get residential parking permits required for your streets. When you get them, continually call parking enforcement with the county to get tickets on all cars without residential or visitor permits.

“Residents might need deliveries or people do work at their houses”?!!! And? People parking on a public street do not prevent those things. Anyone who thinks it does needs to 1) not live in a busy intersection right next to the largest school in Maryland and one of the largest in the country and 2) consider moving to a gated community with a large driveway.
And if students are doing unsociable things in the neighborhood then address that with the school or police, don’t smear shit on other kids cars.
The neighborhood was there long before Blair, the largest school in Maryland and one of the largest in the country, was built next to it. Assuming you don't live in a gated community with a large driveway, you also need workers or deliver persons to park on the street at your home. So, you could perhaps understand why some Woodmoor neighbors are frustrated. And I don't excuse smearing shit on cars, if that even happened.

How do you know it’s neighbors and how do you know all the cars are legally parked?
Do you think it’s ok to smear dog shit on a car if it’s not legally parked?
Or to walk out of your house and yell at a teen and threaten them?
Reports are that all cars were parked legally at all times. I know nothing more than what is reported but it certainly sounds like neighbors and even if there was a parking irregularity it’s not ok to smear shit on someone’s car, is it?
No it’s not ok.
But just because someone said it doesn’t make it true.
I have a hard time believing a person smeared dog shit on a car in broad daylight that was legally parked. No it’s not ok if it’s illegally parked but I don’t live near a HS where entitled kids park however they like day after day instead of getting a school parking pass
The parking lot is covered with portables. There are likely very few spots for students available. I think students street parking is just part of living near a HS. Residents can request 2 hour parking limits but then their own guests are limited.
It’s very difficult for students to get parking passes.
There are school buses available for all of the students at Blair, and for that matter at every MCPS high school. There's no reason for students to drive to school.

So you park in the streets in South Four Corners instead. It's also just across the street from Blair.
Why can’t people park in legal parking spaces?
They can. Just pointing out there are also legal parking spaces in SFC.

The portables at Blair have no impact on availability of parking. There are 3600 people there. Some proportion of them will drive. There are not enough permits available for students.

Install cameras that operate even when the car is off.

No one has a right to the public space outside their home.
There is basic consideration that the spot in front of your house is yours.
Have you never lived in a busy neighborhood? No there isn’t. The street is the street and parking is public. What on earth do you do if you visit another city? Just forgo street parking lest you happen to path in front of someone’s house? Don’t be ridiculous.
+1 hysterical ^PP Street parking, unless otherwise designated, is public parking.
There are a ton of people parking in neighborhoods around the Bethesda Farmers market, too. It's not just students doing this.
If you don't like it, don't live near a school.
Maybe but the residential neighborhood around Bethesda elementary has a ton of restrictions on parking.

That is not a busy neighborhood, its a neighborhood around a school. Kids can take hte bus.
It is a busy neighborhood because there is a school with 3600 people there. That makes it busy.

But they don't have to because it's legal to park in that neighborhood. Take it up with your city council.
