[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't big or scandalous news. He's a good guy. He started the blog a long time ago when he was younger and his life was different. He has a family now, and let's be honest, he's been talking about other, less-edgy, neighborhoods for a while now so you have to have seen this coming. I barely know him, but even I've talked to him about schools - it's impossible not to be concerned when you're a parent.

I also agree it sounds like the Hearst zone rather than Murch. (Which is much less of a sell out if you ask me.)[/quote]

oh shut up.    What do you know about "selling out"?   That's right, nothing, because you're 30 and have either no kids or one infant who's 11 mos.   You grew up in the suburbs.  You have a curated beard, but this doesn't make you authentic.

Here's a cheat sheet:  one more stop to the north on the Red Line isn't a sellout.   A brick center hall Colonial in 20015 between Wisc. and Connecticut aves is not more a sell out than a brick center hall colonial in 20008 between Wisc. and Connecticut avenues.

Ok I'll bite back. I'm significantly older than 30, with kids significantly older than 5. By selling-out, I refer to those who choose to send their kids to a tried-and-true as opposed to an up-and-coming (or less than that). Hearst is less tried-and-true than Murch: just look at upper grades and retention. I know of what I speak, seeing as how I haven't made that move. But I don't begrudge those who do because I probably will soon.

Also, where are all the brick center hall colonials toward Van Ness? They're more mostly duplexes or rowhouses or mansions, right?[/quote]
