[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL, this isn't a NIMBY thing.

Lady, this is literally a NIMBY thing.

It doesn't matter how many schools, businesses or other institutions are around. You are fighting this because you don't want the school there, even though it is 3 blocks from a metro station. If anything, it makes much more sense for it to be there than on MacArthur Blvd.[/quote]

You don't know what NIMBY means, lady (I'm PP and I'm not female). Opposition to development is not inherently NIMBYism. The fact that there are already many other schools in the neighborhood actually shows that it's not NIMBYism at play here. But you do you, if your simple brain is incapable of any nuanced reasoning.[/quote]

It demonstrates nothing, because in many cases those schools or institutions have been there for years, and sometimes after objections from neighbors then.

It may not be inherently NIMBYism, but it is in this case.  The school would be on a major road, not in the middle of a residential neighborhood - just the periphery.  The idea that somehow the traffic is going to be noticeable to AU park is laughable - most drivers will be coming on Nebraska Ave in one direction or another, or be hidden among the thousands of cars that already cut through AU park to get from Mass Ave. to Wisconsin Ave.[/quote]

You talk as if prospective property purchasers have a right to obtain material zoning exceptions and that zoning regulations are meaningless things that are made to be broken. But it's actually the opposite.[/quote]
