[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He writes: "In Washington, D.C., great neighborhood schools exist—but they are inaccessible to the middle class." That's an overly broad generalization. I'm IB for a JKLM school and while there are rich kids at the school, there are also families that are scraping by. There are cheap (but dreary) rental apartments nearby, and there are a significant number of families who decide that's the best choice for their family.[/quote] +1[/quote] But that is overwhelmingly the exception and not the rule. "Affordable housing" (even in DC higher rates) is essentially almost non-existent in those communities. When something affordable opens up, it's almost as competitive as the charter lottery to get it. It is impractical to act like low or moderate income families have real choice in moving there to be inbound.[/quote]
