[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's right. Every generation of SA parents have to learn this lesson. You always think it is on the verge of turning around. And in the meantime, your kids are stuck in these schools. [/quote] Yup. Many people think they are kind of "pioneering" these neighborhoods but the truth is that people move away when elementary begins, and a young couple about to have their first child moves in. 5 years later the cycle repeats. There were 7 families with toddlers on my SA block two summers ago. They've all since scattered - to falls church, to NA, and to other states. many people just don't see the sense in paying such a high premium for housing served by what are, yes, good schools, but schools for whom UMC kids in SFH are not at all a priority. Factor in the equity growth almost everyone here has experienced since 2009 and its kind of hard to do otherwise. It's no ones fault, it's just the truth.[/quote]
