[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for supporting affordable housing for teachers, firefighters etc. but if we believe they do a job that is deserving of being able to afford living in the City, why don't we just pay them proportionately instead of building a few affordable apartments? Isn't that the real issue?[/quote]

No, the issue is that there should be housing options for people who don't earn super-high incomes in more neighborhoods. Though I'm also all in favor of paying public employees better than we do.[/quote]

There are plenty of housing options in the city, it's up to the mayor to make sure those options are safe and schools are good. People want in on good areas because they are safe with excellent schools, mayor needs to make sure all of D.C is great with excellent schools.[/quote]

Finland closed all of its private schools to close the achievement gap between rich and poor.  We could start there.  Idk how happy NW would be about that.

I’ve heard some dumb things, but this may be the dumbest.

Congrats. [/quote]

My town in another state taxes all private schools and golf courses at full property tax rates. If every private school Bethesda, Potomac etc got hit with a $500k to $2 million a year property tax bill to find public schools problem solved [/quote]

What state? I love this! Esp given the ridiculous properties Sidwell etc have right by the metro. [/quote]
