No it really isn't a net good to society and is only a good to the parent - the point is to move people through a corridor more efficiently who need to get through the corridor.  People going to work in cars with multiple people we want to move through the corridor as efficiently as possible to reward them for being more efficient.  [b]We don't want to [/b]give scarce space in the HOV lanes to people whose kids are electively enrolled in downtown daycare.  [b]We don't want to [/b]give the space to people who could travel at another time of day - [b]we want[/b] incentives to reward the people who most need to be on the road at a particular time who are making smart choices.  I fail to see why parents who elect to enroll their kids in school far from home should benefit from this system.[/quote]

How do you think you can speak for everyone?  There are people on this thread who want different things than you do.  Sounds to me like you need to run for office![/quote]

So “we” are against putting kids into daycare that are closer to our workplaces so a parent can spend time with them in the car? As someone who commutes with children downtown to put them in daycare at my agency I don’t understand your logic. Why I enroll my kids in DC (which is helping the DC economy/ provide jobs) instead of in VA should be of no consequence to you. [/quote]

There are huge waitlists for daycare for DC residents so you are doing no favor for DC residents by taking up a slot they could use - probably the only beneficiaries in your thinking are the additional nannies that are employed because you are taking a slot.  Seriously the high cost of land makes DC a less than optimal place for daycare - the rents are high for the center and the city is too expensive for a lot of day care workers who then have to commute in to take care of your kid.  Everyone (including your kid who gets no benefit being stuck in a car seat for an hour a day) would be better off if your kid was in day care where you live.  Or maybe you consider that quality time with your kid - if you do I'm sorry but you and your kid are missing out on a lot.[/quote]
