[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Looks like there are a few dozen folks WOTP at Yu Ying and LAMB, and more from the Hill (not just Brent zone): http://www.dcpcsb.org/washington-yu-ying-pcs-student-location-map and http://www.dcpcsb.org/latin-american-montessori-bi...ngual-pcs-student-location-map

Part of the reason why there are relatively few is that if you get in to a HRCS and live WOTP, you may move closer to your kid's school in a couple years. Why pay WOTP prices and have that commute if you think you'd be happy all the way through DCI?[/quote]

If you look closely at the maps you provided, you see that the LAMB families west of the park are mostly living in rental or condo buildings.  Those parents might feel like moving, because it's easy to pack up one U-Haul when you're renting.   The +/- 12 SFH dwellers who live in Ward 3 and attend YY aren't going to see the family home in Chevy Chase and move to Ft Totten.  C'mon.   These are not interchangeable things.[/quote]

I looked at the map and nowhere did it note that people were living in rental properties.

Furthermore, it makes a ton of sense to sell your Chevy Chase or woodley park or Capitol Hill home and move to Michigan park right now. Housing costs are soaring, interest rates are low, and if you don't care about schools, it makes sense to move to a closer and cheaper neighborhood. [/quote]

Said no one ever[/quote]

Maybe in your circle- the financially illiterate. [/quote]

Exactly the smart money is leaving Chevy Chase/Woodley Park for Michigan Park[/quote]

Forgot this  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Yeah, the less appealing housing stock alone will prevent most people from trading Upper NW for Michigan Park.[/quote]

Oh, please.   :roll:   I've parked in Friendship Heights while shopping in the area.  The housing stock is laughable.  There's a very good reason people buy large, attractive houses in Mt. P or Columbia Heights, or Bloomingdale or whatever.  The actual built city in upper NW is quite often incredibly ugly.[/quote]
