[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are missing the big picture about this boundary shift most of the people who are being moved from Murch to Hearst could walk to Murch but will have to drive to Hearst - that is a huge difference.  It has nothing to do with school quality and everything to do with convenience.  The idea that you could live two blocks from one school but have to go to a school 15 blocks away in a city that wants to encourage more green transportation is absurd.  [/quote]

Except that is not true.  They have a short walk to Murch that is true.  And they would have longer walk to Hearst, and that is less desirable.  But they still can walk if they want to.  The two schools (a farther distance than almost any of folks in the zone would have to walk) are only a mile apart. [/quote]

But right now I would walk to the school, walk back to my house and get in my car to drive to work. I won' t have time in the mornings to walk to Hearst and back again, I would have to drive... So it rally is the distinct from the house time 2 that determines walkability. So yes I most certainly would have to drive. [/quote]
