[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But DC is extraordinarily economically segregated - in this study we were 17th of 341 cities, so the impact is greater. The neighborhood school system reflects the housing segregation in our city. And that is something that can be changed if there is the will to do it.

To hone in on the DC results from the above; https://ggwash.org/view/63048/how-does-segregation-in-dc-compare-to-other-cities

What troubles me are the people who don't think that in and of itself is a problem.  [/quote]

Can you point to any of the large cities that aren't segregated by income?  Not race, but income. [/quote]

** because I'm looking at the map in the Urban Inst. report, and I see that ALL of the large cities are as economically segregated as the District, with the exception of Seattle.   I suppose this is "a problem" but it's one that's existed since time immemorial ["the wrong side of the railroad tracks"] and let's be honest, it is not going to change[/quote]
