[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes an hour on public transit to get to IB high school is ridiculously awful.[/quote]

It is... but that's also based on using public transit. The downside of Upper Caucasia is that the public transit becomes sketchier and sketchier the more suburban it gets. Living in Spring Valley bears little resemblance to living in a traditional urban environment. When people who live on the Hill complain about their public transport-based commute, I can take that seriously. But moving to Spring Valley and complaining about your public transport-based commute is a bit like moving to Georgetown and being surprised there's no metro.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is complaining. I think it's just pointing out to a wrong-headed PP that, yes, there are places IB for MacArthur that have less-than-ideal public transportation options to the school.

Also, "Upper Caucasia" hasn't been edgy in 20 years, especially coming from someone who I will bet is an over-privileged white person. I'm going to guess you're not very clever. [/quote]

Yes, but they did solve the problem for many of the students who are most likely to actually go to Macarthur, those who live off New Mexico, in Glover Park, and about half the Eaton catchment area. [/quote]
