[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I bought into my "hip" part of the city. It wasn't...we got our place for a steal with warnings about living in this horrible area. We were young and never even thought about having kids. Flash forward, and we now love our neighborhood, love the hipsters that grew around us and don't want to sacrifice.

Lucky for us, we are in a great charter, but why should my neighbors have to sacrifice because they didn't win the lottery?  We should ALL have great schools. Until the time we stop fighting with each other and start asking our political "leaders" to prioritize that we are nothing more then children complaining about something they want, but won't work to get.

Opposing point.  There are many of us over here in Ward 3 who have scrimped and sacrificed to live in a good school district with a good feeder pattern.  A lot of us came from the "hip" areas of the city and we kind of resent that we had to move.  Yes, everyone deserves good schools but we did sacrifice over here.  [b]I know I"ll get flamed and I realize that we are very lucky and not everyone has the luxury to make that sacrifice.  Said very tongue in cheek..  [/b]But there are many families in cramped 2 bedroom apartments who would much rather be living in a row home in a cool part of the city.  There's a reason the suburbs exist :)[/quote]
