[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't that new building be located where the 98% of the students actually live?   I guess maybe DCPS doesn't own a large enough parcel further east. [/quote]

If you think it could be proposed without making it sound like, "get off my lawn," let us know.[/quote]

I'm the PP.  The way for this to happen without the "go back to your 'hood" connotations (I believe that's what you actually meant) is to have a %@@^ jewel of a location with world-class performing arts facilities.

City Center would've been the obvious privately held address.    Aren't there a couple of moth-balled DCPS sites within the city core?  I have in my mind's eye a cute 1800's old school house near 14th, but maybe that's been sold off to developers already.

Another location I can picture -- but I don't know the back story on the property itself -- is VERY near all the new $$$ development going in at SW Waterfront / Arena Stage.  Close to Metro, nearish to the DMV and Capitol.

Right now, it's a shitty alternative school place with literally peeling paint.  But if they're going to build the next Sydney Opera House for Ellington over there in Georgetown ... why not spend that same facilities cash to build it in this ^ address?   [/quote]
