[quote=Anonymous][quote] But I just feel like I keep hearing that the same things are dealbreakers for every site – traffic, adjacent to a residential neighborhood, too close to another school.[/quote]

Thank you so much for this long and thoughtful, considered comment.  I am the PP who has been defending the Glen Carlyn speakers -- in general I support a 4th comprehensive at the Kenmore site, but I'm a bit appalled at the privilege and snobbery that my team has been showing in this thread.

I think in general my "team" needs to get more familiar with and better understand the real concerns of the Kenmore residents so that we can better understand the real problems in order to work with them to offer real solutions.  The end game for me is that it's a 32 acre site and it's going to have to get used for a bigger school.  Let's do that while preserving space and trying to remediate the traffic issues as best we can.  But we'd definitely better not scoff and pretend the problems aren't real.  In this thread, you have been one of the few people to recognize that and attempt to deal with it, and I appreciate that very much.[/quote]
