[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live in Takoma, DC on the DC/MD line and mostly love. No one checks your passport in Takoma Park. Have a charming bungalow, but our street is loud, so we have only started porch-sitting during COVID. Kids are in an excellent walkable charter school, but IB MS/HS is a bid of a cluster-f.[b] If we strike out in the lottery, we might rent a studio in Takoma Park, and airbnb our house to utilize TPMS/Blair. We would have to do the math on how many nights we would need to stay in the studio to claim in-state status. [/b]Takoma, DC still has a lot of boomers, but there are tons of young families, too. [/quote] If you're considering that, why not just rent in boundary for Wilson/JR? Legally you could live in boundary for the first month of 9th grade, then move home and keep your enrollment until graduation. Many people on DCUM find that policy loop hole distasteful, but still better than actual residency fraud and/or moving a family of teens into a studio.[/quote] Because that is a heinous commute and we can walk to TPMS. We wouldn't commit residency fraud, we would spend the exact amount of nights in the small apartment we rent to make it legal. Still cheaper than private. I really think Takoma DC should be folded into MD, the dividing lines are pretty wacky. [/quote]
