[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents moving from the Hill to NW or the burbs for school aren't nearly that committed. They aren't going to go the extra mile to stay by building basement apartments. They want lottery luck. They plan on getting it until they....don't.[/quote] Or they can’t afford a row house with a basement? Kind of hard to put a rental unit in your condo. I don’t know why it’s hard for some of you to understand that the main factor in being able to stay on the Hill long term without relying on lottery luck is money/resources. You’re very attached to the idea that you are able to stay because others “failed to plan.” You can plan all you want but if you don’t have the money or resources to make certain real estate choices or establish alternative forms of income, it won’t matter. Like I’m happy for you that you have a solution that works for you, but refusing to get that your solution is out of reach for many people just makes you sound like a jackass. Of course not everyone can fund private school with a rental income unit! Come on.[/quote]
