[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]aka grandparents whose grandchildren are suddenly living with them so they can go to Janney. New addresses are new addresses. It doesn't matter who they are "hoping" will buy them. Every unit has the potential to increase enrollment.[/quote]

Out of morbid curiosity, I pulled out my most recent copy of the Janney directory to see how many Janney families lived in the Cityline apartments. It's a nice apartment building with an appealing location right across the street from what must be America's favorite elementary school. Do you know how many there were? Three. Yes, three. I'm not too concerned with GDS's building pulling in hoards of five-year-olds to Janney any time soon.

Thank you for this. I was talking with another Janney parent the other day who was telling me how awful the GDS development was because of the potential new families. I thought she was nuts and here's the evidence. [/quote]

Don't be so sure.  It all depends on the final building configuration and the lease terms.  People are renting efficiency apartments to be in-bounds for schools like Murch and Eaton.  There are few multifamily buildings in the Janney district currently, and Janney is a higher ranked school.  So the incentive for people to rent even sub-optimally sized units is there.[/quote]

The point is that there already are a few opportunities to do this and no one is taking advantage of it. The proof is in the Janney directory.[/quote]
