We moved to Rockville in part because of MCPS, only to learn that our elementary school is so poorly rated. Changing the APFO will only have a negative effect on our schools, and I do not appreciate developers, who have only a short term interest in our neighborhood, pushing for these changes. I doubt any of the developers will have to send their children to Twinbrook Elementary. If the Council is looking to increase the tax base, this is not the way to do it. Let's see some of the vast parking lots along Rockville Pike get used more efficiently, or find ways to increase property values in neighborhoods with many households, like Twinbrook, rather than lowering our property values by making our schools even more crowded. Weakening our APFO disproportionately impacts denser (and generally lower income) neighborhoods. I urge the Council to remember that your dense communities also want their children to go to great schools, and until Twinbrook Elementary is rated better than a pathetic 3/10, the Council needs to protect the APFO as one of the few safeguards we have for our schools.

It's a good law as is. The only reason the developers want to have it changed is to make money, walk away with a windfall profit, and avoid paying taxes and for the structural impacts of increases of school overcrowding. Who will pay? The citizens will. How are they going to pay? Higher taxes. And this adds to the Maryland growing unfunded 92 Billion dollar deficit. They do not care about the citizens of Rockville. They don't even live here. If the citizens of Rockville overwhelmingly don't want it changed, then don't change it. It's the majority. You are killing the goose that layed the golden egg by chasing out the small businesses and residents who live in moderately priced housing. This is a damn rip off for the citizens. If this gets overturned, then we don't need a Mayor and Council either.

Even with the limitations placed on burden on infrastructure by the AFPO, our area still grows at an exponential rate leading to over-crowding at our schools, jamming of our streets and public transporation, straining of our facilities such as hospitals which can all bring about a decline in quality of life. We must absolutely preserve AFPO in order to keep our city a livable place that can continue to thrive and attract young, smart professionals who will count on AFPO to give them the quality of life they seek when they make the decision to bring their business to Rockville.
