[quote=Anonymous]You don't have to have kids in the schools to be a gentrifier, or even stay in the neighborhood. The PP was responding to someone's claim that gentrification came after the charter school movement. I've lived here for 40 + years. People who had kids while they were in DC planned to either move out or go private. Then there were some families who decided to send their kids to the their IB elementary schools and save some cabbage and/or enjoy their awesome neighborhoods for a while longer. Then some more came and stayed and had some babies, and started looking at and starting charter schools. Then people started looking at middle schools and feeder patterns, and all hell broke out with OOB and charter lotteries.[/quote]
