Are you sure?  They solutions they offered to me were to pick one of the other two options, or to put some of the other land options back in rather than the Kenmore one, which according to them wasn't even supposed to be on the table until the School Board changed their mind at the last minute and reordered the list to include it.

Furthermore, here YOU are talking about sacrificing for the greater good, but the Kenmore plan YOU AND I are offering as a solution to this problem doesn't inconvenience me (or you, I'd hazard) one bit.  Oh sure, my kid is already inconvenienced by general APS nonsense, but this particular plan doesn't make my options smaller.  For this family, it cuts down their green space, it seems sure to increase their already terrible traffic situation which is from what I'm hearing already the worst in the County but nobody seems interested enough to help them.  AND there seems a good chance that the promises of redistricting to achieve equity aren't really going to work out as many of us are wanting, AND by the way you might not get a stadium or a pool, and if you do it won't be for another 20 years maybe, but hey please make some sacrifices so us Northern folks won't be overly inconvenienced!

Don't you see that you have become the thing you seem to most despise about the Arlington Way -- you are making your points about sacrifice and the greater good over and over without listening to how ACTUALLY INEQUITABLE things will be for the people who will go to Kenmore.  But you just keep making them because you're sure you're right.  Just say it again and we will all agree with you, even the nutters.

Where I'm standing, you are probably a parent who thinks Yorktown traffic is worse than anywhere else (which is clearly wrong) and who thinks Yorktown shouldn't be asked to relieve the W-L situation even though W-L has 2,300 and Yorktown has 1,600 (which is also clearly wrong).  We are all in our own little bubbles, the trick is to see outside of them into other people's bubbles.[/quote]
