I am not pretending that something has been taken away from me.  What I am saying is that a new school is opening across the street from my house and I don't see why my child wouldn't have preference to attend it.  It is much closer to my house than LT and it is a better school.  Of course I want preference. I think that most people would advocate for preference at a good school in neighborhood.

This might sound odd, but I don't want to live in a highly desirable proximity area. I have lived in this neighborhood a long time, and I don't love all the changes that have taken place in the last several years. I miss the old residents who have died or sold their houses, and I miss some of the shabbiness and edginess that came with living on the fringes of the Hill. I don't love all of our pushy new neighbors who are continually going on about property values, even though I will someday benefit from the high prices of houses in the neighborhood. I don't want another new influx of arrivals who are trying to avoid L-T by buying close to SWS. I know that neighborhood change is inevitable, but that doesn't mean I have to agitate for it.[/quote]
