[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m on the 16th Street side of kingsbury and I’ve been emailing my council person to reject the zoning. Kingsbury is not meant for that kind of traffic or foot pattern in my neighborhood. There are plenty of other school options in the neighborhood. I am an ardent supporter of public schools and believe charters siphon students away from publics. LAMB has a fight on its hand. [/quote]

The charter question isn’t really the question though. Don’t be ridiculous. This is not going to result in more kids going to neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Agree. I too live on the 16th St side of Kingsbury and fully support LAMB moving into the space. I wonder what other use my neighbor envisions for this building? A school seems just about the best case scenario and will attract even more families to the neighborhood. [/quote]

I agree. I live very close to another popular charter and honestly it has just helped my property values. I really don’t understand the argument that the (very small) group of disgruntled neighbors have.[/quote]

They don't like change. 
They like their relatively quiet neighborhood. 
They don't have - or no longer have - children and priorities are elsewhere. 
They want West to be their neighborhood's elementary school.[/quote]
