[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1000 4th St., SW - Sq. 542, Lot 822 - is DC owned and north of DCRA and not the tax office.  It's right across from the hole for the new yuppy building.

Both lots are owned by the District.  But the lot you're talking about is discussed as the NE parcel here: http://www.swtlqtc.com/2015/01/excavation-to-begin-this-week-at-1001.html

It will be a 400,000 sf building with 20% of the space for affordable units--at 80% AMI, which is almost $86,000 a year.  Rents for a 2br will be over $2100 a month.  This is not public housing.  Again, not that neighborhoods or schools shouldn't include public housing. Jefferson is getting some pretty good test scores--about the same as Stuart-Hobson--from their low-income students.

PP, you're incorrect.  The yuppy/dink hole in the ground known as 1001 4th St., SW is privately owned. The land across the street is DC-owned.  Your link doesn't talk about what will become of the DC land.  I assume you live in SW and want to promote Jefferson for the sake of your neighborhood.  But Brent is on Capitol Hill and its kids need to stay there.  My recollection is that all of SW continues to feed to Wilson. Wilson isn't exactly a prize, given the reports of illegal activity coming on this blog.

Seems like your expertise is in real estate/development matters, not DC Public Schools.  Unless Bowser takes action, this is the last year that residents of SW and the Capitol Riverfront will have in-bound preference for Wilson.  And, like it or not, Wilson is the best DCPS has to offer and is good enough to retain UMC families WOTP who have other options.  [/quote]
