[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have posted already in this thread, but given that there was a plan for a mixed-use store which would have brought new residents and news income tax and property tax to the city that will now be replaced by a voice on Wisconsin Avenue and a removal of very valuable property from the city coffers, I believe this is a negative.

A private school brings nothing of value to the residential community. The school promised in its last variance hearings to share their field with the community as part of an amenity package, yet they never followed through with it despite years of pressing on it. They have, at every turn sought to increase capacity at their schools despite promises not to do so, and they are a really bad neighbor where traffic and parking are concerned. Plus, many are really tired of their upper classmen smoking pot and cigarettes in the residential areas near people's back yards where little kids are playing.

I will be asking the ANC to take a very close look at the proposals when they surface.[/quote]

+1 Other schools make there facilities available to the surrounding community and seek to engage the community.  For GDS it is always a fight.[/quote]

What other schools make their facilities available? Are you referring to Beauvoir and their phenomenal playground?  What others?  How does GDS LS make it more difficult than other schools?  No dog in this fight, just curious.[/quote]
