Closest one to Bowser's new home in Colonial Village appears to be the one at 5505 5th St NW, it's 3 miles away from her.

For me the closest one is 3 blocks away.  How about the people who live 3 miles away stop telling me about how it won't affect me?

How about the people with hardly any FARMS and no homeless students, whose only disruption in their schools comes from rich kids (the person posting above) stop presuming to try and lecture me about how they know so much more than I do about impacts on my own neighborhood schools that are already 99% FARMS and over 10% homeless, and stop lecturing me about how anti-poor or selfish or whatever I supposedly am when they obviously have accommodated far fewer poor folks in their own neighborhoods?[/quote]

Okay. Tell us how you think it will affect you? What are you afraid of specifically? [/quote]

Look, we're not going to go down your red herring route of "toddlers committing murders" again.  You've already said you don't even have any FARMS kids at your kid's school, and your biggest fear in life is spoiled rich brats - it's pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about, where it comes to the kinds of deep psychological trauma, dysfunction, and lack of even the most basic life and coping skills that a lot of homeless and low income families and kids deal with.  I can tell you from experience that these kids and families need a lot of very intensive help, interventions, counseling and other services which I think were clearly lacking at DC General, which existing school and neighborhood and community resources cannot provide, which teachers and student peers cannot provide, and which frankly I think the city is not even remotely addressing with this plan.  And I say this because we already have a lot of homeless families in shelters in our ward whose needs are already underserved in those areas.[/quote]
