No, the argument goes; if you are going to take away a neighborhood public amenity, then it is not a school related issue, it is a development issue that affects all people, not JUST people with children, and so ALL people should have a say in how their neighborhood gets developed. Now, if you are going to redevelop school owned property (which many would say RCH is) then there is no quibble, but when you are taking from the larger community for the needs of a few (sorry but that is true) then the larger community should have more say. As for my community (and I do have young school aged children but I am not self centered enough to think we are the few who matter most) we already have several schools, and I can tell you, they are a pain in the neck when it comes to traffic.

If the issue then is that middle schools serve the needs of the few and negatively affect the many, it follows logically that no middle school should ever be built except in neighborhoods where the majority of the households have middle schoolers. Our communities cannot live with that conclusion. It's a NIMBY problem. [/quote]
