Why is this not a problem for Deal? [/quote]

It is.[/quote]

So this will solve the problem of overcrowding at the Deal feeders and at Deal itself, as fewer people fight to get into the Deal pyramid, and now its going to be fine to upzone Ward 3? [/quote]

Upzoning Ward 3 is a developer ploy led by the current head of the Office of Planning (who will go to work for a developer).  There are already over 2500 homes under construction or in the late stage planning process, more than exceeding Mayor "Vision Zero's" goal of 2500 more housing units in the ward by 2025.  Upzoning single family residential units isn't going to happen, although Council Member Nadeau and the the developer lobby tried to sneak through a last minute amendment recently without a public process.[/quote]

I don't agree with you on the development issues (and not sure why you are bringing Vision Zero into this) What I do know is that the most common reason given to NOT upzone W3, is overcrowding in the public schools.   So, given that the issues with Wilson mean the Deal pyramid is no longer desirable, seems to me there is no longer any reason to not upzone W3.   [/quote]

"Vision Zero" is a slogan that has a defined meaning in the transportation safety field, but it's also a great nickname for DC's corruptish, vapidish mayor.  [/quote]

still not telling me what the justification for artificiallty holding down density in W3 is, if school capacity is no longer an issue. [/quote]

What?  Since when was school capacity “no longer an issue”?![/quote]

Someone on this thread says that so people are so concerned about the changes at Wilson, that Wilson and its feeder pattern schools will become increasingly less desirable and shedding students. Hence - overcrowding will subside.

I don't agree ... but that's how we got on this tangent. [/quote]
