[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the award for missing the point goes to PP![/quote] No. Addressing the point that PP was threatening to leave the District for burbs if it wasn't for charters, and that would make the rest of the left-behinds so sad. The left-behinds would be so sad 'cause they wouldn't have the tax base of the defectors. Like in the 1980s. 1. the departed will be immediately replaced by childless people who contribute just as much tax base 2. the District has always been home to affluent parents, even in the 80s, 90s, and 00s, before PP arrived with all of his fancy taxable income. 3. his fancy taxable income isn't all that. It's only in the aggregate that it means anything 4. if the aggregate left for Vienna because no charter schools, see #1. It's always been this way in DC, this cycle. The differential now is due to increase in numbers, not some sea-change of school-attendance philosophy [/quote]
