[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude, look at the OP document. The relative growth numbers are elsewhere. Please just read it and get back to us.[/quote]
Dude, look at what I wrote.  Read it and get back to us.  Those numbers don't take into account people coming back into the system or the cumulative impact of consolidating High Schools.

(They are also from 5 years ago and I never once said that Brightwood should not be an additional area of focus)[/quote]

Right - there is relatively little new housing being built in Ward 3 but many more people with families are moving there and many families that in the past went private are opting to remain public.

But most of the new housing is being built east of the park and that is where the new demand is coming from - Deal/Wilson are becoming more crowded and whiter in large part because more white families from EOTP are trying to squeeze in.

And again to reiterate they are not all coming from the Shepherd catchment as one poster is hung up on.

If you made Wilson a purely neighborhood/WOTP HS it probably could accommodate everyone.  But I think almost no one thinks that is a good idea or politically feasible.  At the heart of this debate IMHO is how to keep Wilson diverse because it is becoming less so and shrinking the boundaries will exacerbate that.[/quote]
