[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC had a choice over the past decade. Promote policies to make the city more family friendly or encourage policies that favor family-less young people and DINKs. It deliberately chose the latter because those people pay taxes but don’t use many services. The next decade DC is going to pay for this short-sighted direction to turn the city into a playground for young people instead of making it more family friendly. [/quote] Many other places too. Same for hotels too. Alexandria’s own documents show on every new mid or high rise expected families to go to school. Basically they’re banking on families not forming and take steps to ensure it. For example a apartment organized as a condominium, for a future sale, that has studios or majority 1 bed apartments. Clearly they’re not designed for families with even 1 child, so little to no risk of them going to the school system. Not that many would stay for ACPS. Or DCPS for that matter.[/quote]
