[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crestwood resident here. I bought in the neighborhood for Deal and Wilson almost three years ago. So did both of my adjacent neighbors who currently have kids in elementary school. We aren't captured in your data. If you care so little about me and my children and my neighbor's kids -- leave us alone and don't pick nasty fights on the Internet. We aren't contributing to Deal overcrowding, but retaining Deal means so very much to us. Cutting out Crestwood out of Deal and Wilson will absolutely hurt the fabric of our neighborhood community. I don't expect people outside of our neighborhood to understand that, and I guess, if they lack basic human empathy, I suppose they won't care. We have a wonderful block where kids run around and play, we organize informal BBQs and block parties, and we wouldn't be here if it weren't for being IB for Deal and Wilson. I really believe drawing us out of Deal and Wilson will hurt the vibrancy of my neighborhood, and it breaks my heart. [/quote] Other people feel exactly the same way you felt about the kids across the street that didn't have rights to Deal. Did you lack empathy for them?[/quote] I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if I lack empathy for 16th St Heights folks? Of course not! I don't think any family should be forced to move their children to a school that isn't equal or better than their current option. I think 13:37's point is a good one and relevant here -- this process is hurting communities. [/quote]
