EYA sold all their townhouses and is out of the picture. The current developers in SE are building studios and a few 2brs.  They're not too interested in attracting families with good schools...if they were, don't you think they would have spoken out about DME's plan to send the neighborhood to Eastern instead of Wilson? And the Wharf developers aren't going to help with a school that doesn't serve their neighborhood.

EYA is definitely not out of the picture.  EYA is planning on at least one Condo Building (on the parking lot across from their townhomes).   From an earlier meeting, the housing authority indicated that if this partnership was successful, that they would be open to having EYA put condos on the 3 other vacant blocks that need to be developed to.

Also, don't forget about "The Lofts at Capitol Quarter" that just broke ground a month ago.  These 195 garden style apartment units will be built right next to Van Ness, and will not have as many studio apartments as the high rise apartments will have.[/quote]

I think it's pretty well established that condos and garden-style apartments won't bring many kids to the area. A few, yes.[/quote]

And what will the upper grades look like?  Families tend to leave apartment style housing as their children/families grow.  Plus Jefferson still looms around the corner.[/quote]
