Hardly.  We'd much rather walk to school, and keep beloved neighbors who hit the road for greener elementary pastures.  Friends on our block just bought closer to Yu Ying and DCI to avoid L-T.  Their house is under contract by suburban empty nesters.  Score another one for Cobbs and DCPs.  [/quote]

Your friends must have lotteried into Yu Ying, so why did they feel the need to move? There is a Yu Ying bus from the Hill. I'm sure they didn't move closer to Yu Ying if they hadn't gotten in, and they definitely didn't move to Brookland for the DCPS options. So how is Cobbs to blame for them moving?[/quote]

No brainer.  They used L-T for preschool but didn't care for Cobbs (putting it mildly) or the PTA crowd.  They used the YY bus for a year or two, but weren't crazy about the commute for the kids.  They looked at the map and didn't like the idea of a worse commute to DCI down the road, and moved north.  If L-T had been an option half as appealing as YY, they wouldn't have relocated (or so they say).  Cobbs is the straw that breaks the camels back around here, or one anyway.

That makes perfect sense. It's a bit of a stretch to blame Cobbs for them moving, however. There are very few programs in the city that compete with YY +DCI, and I can understand people wanting to move closer and reduce commute time.[/quote]
