[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]San Francisco tried the random city wide school lottery and it had the effect of driving upper middle class families out of the city.  Some would say this was part of the plan, since families consume more city services than, for example,  gay mem with dogs,  who are higher net tax payers.  A dog park is cheaper to fund than a renOvated school.[/quote]

+1. If DCPS cares more about dogs than about kids, the San Francisco example would be one to emulate.[/quote]

Gay men adopt kids now.  Its a thing.  Driving out families with the expectation that gay men will take their place is a fools errand as those gay men may also "consume more city services" by creating families.[/quote]
This. Lots of same sex couples with kids around here. Everyone is concerned about quality schools. Yes, there will be those without, but those with is an appreciable number, adding to those for which school is a high priority. School quality matters across the board.[/quote]

Beautiful theory, without the numbers to back it up. San Francisco is a beautiful, fun, and relatively childless city because its public school system is a nightmare.[/quote]
