[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I wanted good restaurants and culture, I would move back to NYC.

It's really disgusting how people in this town think that only those who are "Native Washingtonians" or have family who have lived here for generations are the only ones who get to weigh in on civic matters.  My kids are native Washingtonians and they deserve an education just as much as the immigrant children who have moved here and the white kids with parents who came here to escape some mid-west town and live in a "big city."[/quote]

Why does saying someone is a transplant imply that schools shouldn't have IPL?

Why do you think that walking into the room just one time allows you to weigh in on any issue? Sure after you know the topic or come in as an expert on the issue.  Example banning a right on red turn on a street. If you just moved to the community why would you say this should or should not happen. If you were a transportation expert sure, please tell us everything you know.  But if you just moved here, I DON'T CARE.

My school wants to lock our field down to just the school (until 5 pm) but the transplants in the community who don't have children are moaning about their rights and their need for open public space. City is siding with the transplants. Same transplants whose dogs come and crap on our field and are shocked to find out its even a school.  There are also people in our community without kids who do a lot for our school and/or respect the space so its not all transplants.[/quote]
