Or, "we need to stay IB for Deal" from the Bancroft and Sheperd addresses[/quote]
That's why I won't buy in the Shepherd Park, or Crestwood neighborhoods right now. Too unpredictable.[/quote]

I would agree that Crestwood is on the chopping block.

are there any DCPS families there?[/quote]

There are DCPS families in Crestwood. We are one of them. Obviously, I have no idea what will happen and you may be right that Crestwood is on the chopping block. But, from a political vantage point, that makes no sense. Cutting Crestwood out of Deal and Wilson saves very few seats. On the other hand, it will piss off 1,000 some fairly wealthy and politically active families that will worry about their property values. So, politically, the cost benefit analysis doesn't make sense. Which of course, probably means nothing.

Lameduck Mayor is going to take all the hits on this one -- if there were any doubt as to whether Gray was running, this should seal the deal. I predict next mayor will undraw a few of the new boundaries for his/her pets.
