[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many of you aren't really seeing how the Kenmore map could be drawn to help all schools.

Buckingham would stay at WL

The West Pike would ( and some parts currently WF) would go to Kenmore

All of the south would stay at Wakefield. You guys are super concerned with that green area currently zoned WF going to WL. That's Arlington mill, right? It would help WF to put those units into WL- not hurt it.

Yes, a big chunk of YT's current zone would have to be redrawn to Kenmore. People who are close enough to walk would have to ride a bus to Kenmore.

That's the only way it works. It would actually make Wakefield less poor not more. 
Yes, Kenmore would be difficult to balance. 
It would take many homes being zoned to it...

God forbid we have all the shitty and ridiculously bad planning on the west Pike effect the good homeowners of 22207.
Maybe we'll actually be able to put the brakes on the crazy train of affordable housing over there. 
If you guys want this school, you need to raise your stakes too. [/quote]

Arlington Mill is zoned WL already, I believe. WF doesn't have the high-density AH all the way west on the Pike. (One of the recent redistricting proposals was to move some of those units to WF, which I and others advocated against.) The green areas north of the Pike zoned WF are mostly SFHs and fairly diverse on any measure. Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I remember from when they had the PDF of planning unit demographics available. Wish I had saved that.[/quote]
