[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gentrification is not a goal? What are you smoking? A municipality's tax base expands dramatically when neighborhoods gentrify. Pols and school system leaders adore gentrification. [/quote] Sure the pols love the boost to public coffers, but school system not as much. There is ample public data so gains resulting exclusively from gentrification are easy to discern. Furthermore, lots of those gentrifiers don't have kids, and some gentrifiers with kids won't even consider public schools on principle. For a place like DC those gentrifiers in the public school system self-select and cluster, exacerbating disparities, stiffing greater integration, and providing supplemental funding in a self-serving manner rather than one that benefits all public ed students.[/quote]
