[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did everyone think of the speeches today? [/quote]

I think most made some.good points and had good attitudes. There were a couple cringe-worthy ones - the last woman on video was just . . . no.

I'll concede, I've been somewhat persuaded. It would have been nice to hear the board respond to some of the points, as they may have information that rebuts or clarifies, but I think I'm now convinced that, at a minimum, there hasn't been enough substantive analysis of the big picture, including planned housing developments, traffic patterns, etc.

I could be wrong - maybe the Board has a whole bunch of non-public information supporting H, but today I heard a lot of good questions that I haven't heard actual answers to.

If a decision has to be made in the next month, I suspect the Board will kick the can - propose using Crown as a holding school while Damascus is renovated then revisit in 2-3 years to decide what to do long-term. But, who knows?[/quote]

I could not agree with you more. It’s nice to see the usual aggressive crew a bit calmer and more reasonable except, yes, the last one. She had something different in her Wheaties yesterday.

I drove by Crown yesterday - it is odd how close it is to the street and to the homes facing it. I feel bad for the homeowners who purchased it before school construction started (did they?)? The wall they face is so ugly and it is CLOSE - that’s going to be very noisy. That whole neighborhood is tight, really. More so than Kentlands. They have the same 1-lane roads in and out of there as Wootton parkway - that traffic will be a nightmare. [/quote]
