I have voted for every possible increase in school/education funding on every referendum since I moved to the county.

However, as with the city (albeit to a lesser extent), govt school systems are black holes of tax money. People like Johnny O always promise new schools and then never deliver.

Perhaps I missed where it says that these will exclusively be studio and one-bedroom apartments(?).

Because other articles I've seen about this same project did NOT indicate that they will be what you say.

However, even if they are studio and one-bedroom apartments, I'm sure there will be a decent amount od kids there. Given the often-griped-about expense of living in the Lutherville-Timonium area, if a relatively low income person or couple wants their kid to attend county schools (versus the crap shoot that are the city schools), where will such people live? Probably a small, affordable, apartment, which is exactly what these are billed as.

I don't care if it's African Americans, Latinos, Norwegians, etc. The schools are too crowded for this. Build more schools first, THEN projects like these.

The bigger issue with this plan is that all the schools in the area are at or above capacity. Sticking hundreds more units (which no doubt will include at least SOME children) is going to overcrowd the schools even more.
