Did I miss any?  Do we really need a 13th school in a 1 mile radius?[/quote]

Looks to me like strong empirical evidence that this is a good location for schools.[/quote]
Shrug. We're not part of the holy FCCA community, but we live a couple of blocks from Hardy Park.

The whole fear of a traffic apocalypse that would be brought about by a new school is nonsense. Traffic issues on MacArthur and Foxhall have never had anything to do with the schools in that area. That's just a drop in the bucket for roads that are commuter arteries from Maryland.

The FCCA people were the types who used pre-renovation Hardy Park as their own personal, off-leash dog park, then got all huffy when people told them their dogs need to be on a leash. To them, the park is a personal playground. If they could get away with it, they'd bulldoze the playground area to keep neighborhood kids out. They're a bunch of fundamentally dishonest, histrionic snobs who are horrified by the idea of public schools kids in their neighborhood.  [/quote]

Nailed it. [/quote]
