[quote=Anonymous]Just read through the 16 pages here (don't tell my boss!) and a few things to add (still!)

[b]Real Estate[/b]. Touched on in page 12, but 20015 is the second most expensive zip code in the whole DMV now (https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/04/15/great-places-live-100-priciest-zip-codes-washington/) If you don't think that's directly because of the Lafayette renovation, you're not paying attention to local estate trends.

[b]DMV Demographics[/b]. MoCo schools are having their own capacity crisis, and in Virginia, #Amazon. Who knows what that will do to the wider area!

[b] Free pre-k[/b]. Free Pre-K keeps affluent families in DC.  Echoing what folks have started posting - even for 'affluent' families, it's huge! Without free pre-k, we likely would have bought in the 'burbs instead of the city, since we have more than one kid, and we were already lotteried into a HRC.

I'd like to see DCPS + the charter board merged so there's central (and new, smart) leadership. The savings on redundant admin staff along should make it worth it.[/quote]
