[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FCCA's October newsletter is out.

It's not published on their website yet because I suspect they don't want what's in it subjected to wider scrutiny.

The newsletter contains a long screed against the proposed Foxhall Elementary School. Much of it rails against Mary Cheh for her support for the school, but it does contain this very revealing "fact" (which they of course fail to source):

"Whenever it would open, [b]most of the students at Foxhall school would come from outside of our neighborhood. The City's own planning figures show that less than 150 students live within 3/4 of a mile of the school and thus are 'walkable[/b]'."

I am very glad that they are finally being honest about the fact that their opposition has little to do with park space, traffic, parking or any of the other canards they've advanced over the past few months. Some people in this part of DC haven't moved on from the 1950s, it seems.[/quote]

this is so pathetic.  I responded to all the surveys and believe park space should be preserved by using Old Hardy as the new Foxhall ES, ending Bowser and Kihn's corrupt deal with Lab School.  Seeing how fixated FCCA is on the outside the neighborhood nonsense, would be karma for them to lose their beloved parkland as a symbolic F U. [/quote]
