[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have been wanting to get rid of the reliance on Greatschools for a long time, but house hunters find it invaluable (including us). The change in methodology may have finally succeeded in getting people to stop looking at it, at least locally. [/quote] Wrong conclusion. This is a transient area. This will push people further into more segregated areas. It’s will encourage communities to work harder to block low income housing. [/quote] This. People are terrible and deserve NO credit. They aren't going to suddenly dismiss GS, rather they are going to try to "win" within the new parameters. Great Schools is pouring lighter fluid on the fire of residential segregation. Already happening in Arlington, where each boundary change ends in a tighter geographic area which "just so happens" to make the wealthier/less diverse schools even less diverse. Next come the law suits to block any new developments in certain areas. [/quote]
