[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just never made sense to me that kids from SW could feed into Wilson.  I understand that SW are upset that this has been taken away from them, but it makes little sense.  I can, however, sympathize with the Crestwood residents.  At least they are geographically closer.[/quote]

Actually, Eastern and Wilson are pretty similar in distance and public transit travel time from SW. (Driving travel time is almost certainly faster to Wilson during rush hour than getting all the way across the Mall/Hill to Eastern). While redistricting SW to Eastern may help balance feeder patterns overall, it's certainly not a more obvious choice if geography's your criterion. [/quote]

It will take you at least twice as long to drive to Wilson during morning rush hour.  For one, Wilson is twice as far away.  Two, traffic is virtually non-existent on the Hill heading east in the morning.  And, even heading west, you just need to avoid the major roads that the Marylanders use.  It doesn't take more than 10-15 minutes to get from the Hill to downtown in the morning.  Three, why would you go by the Mall?  Why not use I or M to get across SCap then head diagonal to one of the Carolinas.

Metro will also be way quicker, even if you are close to one of the green line stops.   [/quote]
