[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Kingsbuty site was never designed to be a school. It was a private mansion.

It has been a small, specialized school for a couple decades which has fallen on hard times economically.

LAMB would be a very different beast and despite assurances about people using transit I assume 90% of families will drive. Maybe they will give up the requirement of kids being escorted in by parents in favor of a drop off line. But dropoff and pickup will be a major pain for the neighbors. [/quote]

History is important to know, but it doesn't mean things can't change. Schools move and buildings are repurposed.  I do think it would be best to move in gradually.  But your position of demanding that things never change from how they were is just unreasonable.[/quote]

This. What do you believe is the best use of the site? [/quote]

But the building doesn't belong to the city and never has. It's always been in private hands. Are you suggesting that DC should assert eminent domain and take it?[/quote]

LAMB can buy it or the DC government can buy it and lease it to LAMB.  It doesn't need to be eminent domain because it's up for sale.[/quote]
