[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I own a restaurant in Arlington and his weekend my business achieved record sales compared to the past 10 years.  Many came from DC and were unvaccinated.  The requirement for papers will further hurt the DC scene and help me.[/quote]

Lol no one crosses the river to do anything in Va and that was before youngkin. [/quote]

Umm life ling DC resident and you are wrong.  Wondering everyday if I should move to Virginia.  Less crime, more freedom, and most significantly for me less taxes.  Op, congratulations on a profitable weekend, that's great![/quote]

There is no restaurant. You’re a sucker.[/quote]
And yet plenty of people do move from DC to NOVA every day for quality of life and public services. [/quote]

Not to mention all the DC officials who rent cheap apartments to enroll their kids in NOVA schools.[/quote]

Really? Which officials?

If anything, they would do this for MoCo schools. Who should want VA schools?[/quote]

It is mostly Alexandria and Arlington.  [/quote]

It is definitely not happening in Alexandria public schools. They're not any better than DCPS, and Ward 3 schools in DC should be far superior to anything in ACPS. Here in DC, we usually have the impression that Arlington might have some good schools but they're overcrowded. Again, probably not better than Ward 3 DCPS schools. [b]The sole exception would be TJ, which might have been worth it in the past.[/b]

Conclusion: OP and this PP (if they are different people) are not DC residents, are not even local, and probably don't own this hypothetical restaurant. Simple local knowledge suggests we have a troll amongst us.[/quote]

TJ isn’t worth sending kids to anymore? Why not? I’m confused [/quote]

As a DC resident, I'm not going to be a good authority at all! I just meant that the weakening of test-in requirements would concern me. I think it probably doesn't bode well for the institution, but I don't have a direct personal stake since... I am not a Virginian. Access to a really selective TJ in the past seemed like a real plus. It is the only one in Virginia's favor that I can seriously credit. Otherwise VA holds zero appeal for me.[/quote]

As if any of your progeny would have a chance of testing in TJ with high standards or relaxed standards.[/quote]
