[quote=Anonymous][QUOTE]It seems to me that a purchaser in Crestwood or Palisades had a reasonable expectation of Wilson, and paid a preimum for it, but the purchaser in Anacostia or Eckington or Co Heights did not have a reasonable expectation; they won a lottery, and probably their house was inexpensive (by DC standards!).[/QUOTE] Why should someone's private real estate investment entitle them to priority access to public schools? Should people who buy houses next to polling places get priority entrance to vote? If I buy a house near the National Science Foundation should I get first dibs on research grants? I am not a parent at a DCPS school, but I think both IB and OOB parents have a reasonable "claim" to a school. That's the problem. (But it's not because of any investment. It's because it's something that's been true in the past, and they are expecting/hoping it to be true in the future.)[/quote]
