[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As most of you already know, [b]Sheperd has a much larger lot than Murch. [/b]They have a lot more options of renovation than Murch which is already on a small lot which is 1/3 useable for building. In addition, Sheperd is half the enrollment of Murch. Their parking needs are much different. [/quote]

This actually isn't true.   The Murch plot of land is bigger than the DCPS-controlled plot of land that is home to Sheperd.    The DPR park next door makes it seem bigger, but no construction could ever spread onto park land.[/quote]

It amazes me the way people act like inter-agency land transfers are impossible. If the political will is there they happen all the time.  Think about this: until a couple of years ago, DGS didn't exist. Then it was created, and presto! all of the land that city agencies owned was transferred to them (except for libraries). So DGS owns both parts of the Shepherd parcel. DCPS is the tenant for one part and DPR is the tenant for another. If the need exists, DGS can move tenants around.

Dealing with the federal government is a whole different kettle of fish![/quote]
