[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow people are really nuts. I guess it’s possible some of the crazies on this lawsuit are on this thread. So let me get this straight: a few Lamb parents rubbed you the wrong way at a meeting, so now you have a personal vendetta against the whole school, and think it shouldn’t be allowed to buy a building which is already a school? Because some kind of “promises” won’t be kept? What exactly? Just basic montoeing of traffic flows and mitigation, really? Which will certainly be less bothersome than the traffic from the luxury condos you prefer, all because you decided a public SCHOOL is somehow just snobby and awful? I swear to god some people have some kind of autoalerts on certain schools on here and they pop up and trash talk any freaking chance they get.[/quote]

You clearly have been to none of the meetings where residents voiced reasonable concerns and suggestions. LAMB has shown no interest in working with the community other than their token unenforceable "promises".
Thank you for showing your ignorance on the matter.[/quote]

I am a NP and I am interested in hearing the reasonable concerns. I am being serious- I have never heard any of the concerns other than more traffic.[/quote]

“Your Christmas tree sale will interfere with ours!”  Yes, really. [/quote]

I remember the Christmas tree sale being brought up at the FIRST meeting regarding Lamb's move into Kingsbury, over a year ago, and as one of several DISCUSSION points, not as the basis of stopping Lamb from moving in. Do you have some knowledge that this is the basis of a "new complaint" by neighbors that was brought up to extend the appeal process? I'm fairly certain that the neighbors who are complaining are long time residents of the area, not parents of children who attend the nearby school, and very unlikely to be on DCUM. I also think the main complaint is regarding traffic, which is why there was the request to have a staggered move in, rather than an all at once shift from 150 students to 600 students. If this previous poster or anyone else has information the about "new complaint" that has been mentioned, please provide it, otherwise this just really sounds like a bunch of people repeating sound bites that they have heard at one time or another, with no "facts" being shared.

A staggered move-in isn’t going to alleviate traffic problems. It’s just going to postpone them. [/quote]
