[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just do what San Francisco does, where being inbounds is a preference, not a right? DCI does that. DCPS does it for pre K. That would end IB and OOB overcrowding city wide. In fact every reason touted for ending OOB feeder rights is also a reason for making IB a preference, rather than a right. [/quote]

SF school system is notorioualy one of the worst in the nation due to this disastrous policy[/quote]

This. Home values would plummet if buying IB doesn't guarantee that your kids can go to the schools.[/quote]

Values wouldn’t plummet, they equalize throughout the city and lead to desegregation. [/quote]

Nope, those with options will just move out of the city and go to the suburbs[/quote]

Yes and then their AU Park home would sell for a little lower, more in line with Shepherd Park. Then people would revert back to paying only like $100k premium to live away from brown folks.[/quote]

This is a lazy characterization. They are trying to avoid low income folk, not brown people. And AU Park attracts people who like the city/suburban blend of the neighborhood [/quote]

How about they are trying to avoid the problems of concentrated low income neighborhoods and so choose otherwise. People of all races do this - how do you think PG county formed?[/quote]
