[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+2 I grew up in ward 3 but would never live there now. We'll inherit my parents' house someday, Lord
willing, but we certainly won't move back.[/quote]

So, no one wants to live there, but everyone wants to send their kids to school there.

I'm the pp who's lived in w3 since 1994.  I love many many things about my address and I am pretty sure i could not recreate this coveted PACKAGE of features anywhere else in the city. One of these features is lack of crime, so no one needs to respond to this particular post and try to refute this --our district has lower overall crime than anywhere else.  Then there are all the other factors in this package which I'll spare you.

That said, I stay here DESPITE the growing share of unfortunate people.  The trade off is currently worth it

The value of the package is relative and individual.  I moved out in 1999 because it was so homogeneous and boring, it didn't even feel like living in the city.  [/quote]

If "city" means mainly minority, then ward 3 doesn't fit, but if it means good public transportation, entertainment, walkable parks and schools, then it does.

Also it's the most popular place in the city for people in other parts of the city to want their children to be educated.[/quote]
