[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really would you honestly prefer a 'strip mall' in the same location as a school because it brings tax dollars?[/quote] Well, actually I think the choice is between an institution that makes lots of money educating kids from DC and MD, versus an institution that makes slightly less money, pays taxes, and educates kids from DC and MD. You make it sound as though the city's revenues are somehow a trivial thing. I'm not sure how you think roads get built, and public schools get their windows replaced, but generally it's via tax dollars. We're already do enough charity to our suburban neighbors by bearing the majority of the region's poverty.
