[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worst part for me about the lottery is that it pits neighbors against each other. That can only serve to break down community, not build it up. It does it at the citywide level too. It's a poisonous system.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous, if that's the type of animosity you have for someone else's good fortune, I would hate to be your neighbor. The government is not responsible for how you feel to about the people in your community that is your responsibility, granted you can be angry about the process. [/quote]

+1. OP sounds really selfish. Nobody deserves a spot except her because she's lived here for 30 out of her 36 years. OK.[/quote]

OP admitted to just venting. no where did he/she say no one deserved a spot.

i've been here since graduating college 15+ years ago, born and raised in md and its gotta be frustrating as hell to be basically a hometown resident forever and have to go thru this lottery only to lose. not saying its not as frustrating for us all.[/quote]

If rich people didn't want to move into DC, there wouldn't be enough tax revenue for anyone to have free PK. There are a whole lot of things DC offers now that it didn't and couldn't when OP moved here 30 years ago, because there wasn't any money for it.[/quote]
