[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Loads. People want to pay less in taxes, have more money spent to solve the many problems, and still have a balanced budget. They want more rights for citizens, and less crime.   They want more housing, but less impacts from more density.    Parking to be less scarce, but not to have to pay more for it.

Life is full of tradeoffs.   The proposed plan addressed real problems. It also created losers in the process. There is no way to have avoided that. MAYBE your proposal to delay a year till McFarland plans are fleshed out will result in fewer losers, at minimal cost. But there will STILL be losers, and yes, some of them will leave the city as a result.  [/quote]

Everyone has their own particular interests. For instance, unlike some other posters here, I don't have a personal stake in MacFarland. However, I may be able to help MacFarland in my own small way. But, really, not everyone can be satisfied, so should I care if MacFarland supporters are satisfied? Is it worth looking beyond my own parochial interests? Maybe those people who don't have a good middle school option should just move? New families will move in and some will have babies (new DCUM users!!!).

I don't think the message of "we want you to go to our school but don't care if you move" sells very well. In fact, it is pretty insulting.
