[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's assume that you (1) have a rising K'er in August 2015, (2) live IB for Van Ness, and (3) win lottery spots at Brent and/or Maury.  What would you do?  [/quote]

I'll play! 1. go to Brent

Why in the world would you commute to Maury from there? If the choice was Maury or Van Ness, I'd go to Van Ness. There are bound to be other kids in the neighborhood that go to Brent already and there will be others that go to Van Ness.[/quote]

Maury is an established, known quantity.  It is less than 2 miles from VN, about an 8 minute drive, albeit this might become more challenging once CSX starts digging.  You also then have the option for Eliot-Hine, which could be significantly better than Jefferson in another five or six years.[/quote]

I would not bet money on either EH or Jefferson being seriously good in 5-6 years, so that would not tip Maury in my favor. And 2 miles on the Hill during rush hour can be a horrible commute if you are driving.[/quote]
