[quote=Anonymous]The magic number is "not to exceed 20% FARMS". For that to work, some numbers would need to start balancing out - DC will need to pull in a whole lot more upper middle class and have a lot more gentrification, rather than the pushback that often happens from the community, together with the constant pandering to the lowest common denominator. It will need a lot more focus on reasonable residential offerings for more professionals with families, rather than being so focused on things like efficiency apartments for single young professionals. It will need flexibility in the school system in order to allow that critical mass to build up. It will take a concerted, committed, and coordinated effort by the Mayor, by Council, and by DCPS and the Charter School Board. And, it will take time. What won't work is some simplistic mandate of school quotas put on schools. That would be a disaster.[/quote]
