[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I look at this the more I like moving 2315, 4815, 4818, 4829, 4899 to Yorktown, and 1202, 4604, 4606, 4612, 4695 to Wakefield.  That avoids moving planning districts with high farms rates to Wakefield and it does move some to Yorktown.  It doesn't take anyone out of a walk zone.  2315 is currently Swanson, tons of Swanson already goes to Yorktown. The rest are Jefferson.  Similarly the Wakefield moves are Kenmore and Jefferson.[/quote]

I did this as well.  It makes sense but I'm sure there would be push back from the Lyon Park community.  Wakefield is not good for property values.  [/quote]

Absolutely would be push back from Lyon Park because it doesn't make sense when you consider ES zones.  I live in Ashton Heights and my unit is not in play but we want our ES kids to be able to stay together.  It makes a lot more sense to keep Henry and Hoffman kids together through HS (and most of those units are not high FARMS either).  With this adjustment you'd end up with just a fairly small group from TJ going to Wakefield (the Long Branch kids who live north of Pershing).  I actually have no problem with Wakefield (since we're at TJ I know a lot of families with older kids there and they are very happy with it) but we're walkable to W-L and I strongly prefer to keep my kids walking to school.
