[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people that think it’s just about the “property values”- everyone is still zoned to the “wooton@ crown” - why would that impact the property values? They should stay the same in either model- doesn’t seem like that would be the reason.[/quote]

It is misplaced fear that certain property values will go down because:
1. the high school is not walkable to the same neighborhood
2. there will be a vacant campus
3. the worst one- new demographics added to the existing pool will make it a less "prestigious" school[/quote]

But that’s not misplaced fear-The three things you listed are all absolutely true. It won’t change the property values significantly for all the neighborhoods but it absolutely will for the neighborhoods closest to Wootton. You can shame people all you want for caring about this but a home purpose is by and large most people’s biggest investment. Yea it’s normal for people to care about that taking a hit. [/quote]

PP here.  The third thing is absolutely misplaced fear.  The first true there may be some small amount of truth for a very small amount of homes (relative to all impacted property).  My point though is that it is not at all a valid basis on which the BOE should make this decision.

But thank you for being honest about the root of the opposition.[/quote]
