[quote=Anonymous]Not only patronizing local businesses but also being a large part of the reason that those businesses can exist in the first place.  There are plenty of other "old" cities in this country that are a mess downtown - they cannot support themselves because all the businesses have fled to the burbs - or to other cities.  If the large organizations did not exist downtown - and draw from the broader suburban population for their workers - DC would not be a place where people wanted to "move back to".

I think a better argument for those of us living in DC is to get independence and voting rights so the city's residents can have control over their own policies - rather than Congress having the right to overturn choices made by the local tax paying (both Federal and DC) population.

We choose where we live - and we have made a choice to live somewhere with fewer good options for public schools.  If that is a priority - then we need to move - or help fix the schools.  Expecting private schools to give a preference to anyone based on where they live does not seem like a good option.  What would people say about a school in Potomac that gave preference to people in Potomac.  I suspect they would be called discriminatory.
