[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Count them, and charge VA and MD.  Reciprocity, not freeloading.  Identify a handful of schools that are eligible for out of state kids
Cap the eligible AGI of the parents -- limit it to those making $120k or less, depending on the number of kids.  Limit it only to DC city employees.  Any number of ways to make this a good policy for recruitment and  retention of City workers to lower-paying jobs.

Oh please.  Anyone making a $100,000 or more at a city job can find a decent place to live in DC if they choose. They are making an economic choice to get a bigger house by luving in the suburbs, but it’s not that they “can’t afford” DC.[/quote]

I am not suggesting those people should be accommodated - have an income cap to prevent such families from getting the benefit. That may also be an outlier  (or one of a few extreme examples).
  We rarely develop policies based on one or two anecdotal examples  (I hope).  We need more data on who is doing this and why, and all the relevant demographics.
