[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"[quote]I love God, but He's not communicated any concerns about traffic in your 'hood.

Since Divine intervention is not forthcoming on this matter, perhaps simple common sense might help. Have you considered moving?

As none of the elite schools in DC are new, perhaps you might also consider their location before choosing your next house. Common sense would lead most people to understand that if you live around a school -- public or private -- there will be heavy traffic twice a day."[/quote]

[quote]My living near private schools is not tantamount to giving private school parents permission to drive recklessly through my neighborhood, endangering me and my kids, so that they can school on time.  And, yes, this will be you if it isn't already, because there's no way any of us can control traffic on 270, the beltway, the bridges, etc.  So, yes, it is self-centered to make the decision to send your kids to a private that is a long commute from your home.  It contributes to traffic, pollution, road rage, and dangerous travel conditions.[/quote][/quote]

Well, we can see that you are literate in neither the spiritual nor common English realms.

Many of the people who drive in from the suburbs have to drive in to work in the city.  How horribly self-centered of them to commute into the city for employment. Especially self-centered of them not to be able to afford $2-3 million homes to live close to the DC privates.

So typical of a NW DC resident to complain of the hoi polloi streaming into "their" neighborhood every morning and accuse them of being self-centered.  Oh, the irony.
