[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe 100% that kaya wants nothing more than to screw over the privileged parents she feels are such a PITA. The fact that more families are trying to stsy in DCPS seems to fuel her desire to sticke it to them. Just look at the Wilson budget cuts. Kaya feels very good about those cuts.  [/quote]

We all know that property values in D.C. are too high -- she's doing her part to create excess supply, which will in turn drive down the market price of real estate.  Granted, some of the middle class people she is trying to help would as a result be underwater on their mortgages, but I don't think she's taken the long view on her "screw the [ ] privileged families" strategy.  And, of course, the decrease in tax base will hurt the truly needy families, too, but that's a long term result.  In the meantime, maybe she's counting on a continual cycle of YUPPIES moving in to the City, and out again as they have families, to keep the tax base somewhat static during the time she is feeding the weighted education money to the needy.[/quote]

Tin foil hat territory.  Families are staying in DC, not moving, in part, because schools and municipal services are getting better and businesses are increasingly catering to higher income populations.  The "tax base" as you put it is supplemented by the Federal Government through myriad programs including Title I, Medicaid, TANF, SNAP, etc.  [/quote]
