maybe, but based on previous threads, sounds like there are still some address cheaters at janney, just not the pg county type, but the multiple house owning lawyer type using their rental property addresses.[/quote]

If they're paying property tax on the rental, how is that not legitimate?  [/quote]

Because in DC you're probably covering your taxes and other costs with the rent you're bringing in.  You are usually benefitting financially from that rent and the taxes you're paying wherever you actually live are NOT going to the school system you're sneaking your kid into.

That is very plainly not legitimate.

And for those who are not making their taxes back on their rentals, that is part of doing business - you are not entitled to a bonus of a school slot that someone's kid who *actually* lives in DC should have taken just because you are doing business in DC.  Should all business owners in DC who pay DC taxes get to send their kids to DC schools regardless of where they live, just because they do business in DC?  Residency is about where you LIVE, not where you do business, even if property taxes are part of the business you do.[/quote]
