[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think they are just going to rent nearby office buildings that are “super vacant”, please go advocate for that and the logistics of how that can happen so that kids can just traipse all over busy streets with 5 minutes between classes. That’s not realistic. They aren’t going to start new construction on a building that was specifically built for those 2 programs, and furthermore, HB didn’t even want to move in the first place.[/quote]

HB students are free to leave campus whenever they want, so traipsing across busy streets for after lunch classes would hardly be abnormal for them.

And stop with the stupid they didn’t want move; they were occupying an even LARGER campus with their tiny student body, so the status quo was equally untenable. Perhaps if they had piped up and said “instead of moving us, make us a 1300 seat program” they could have stayed. But that was never on the table either. [/quote]

It wasn't up to HB.  The neighborhood wanted their walkable middle school.[/quote]

and the neighborhood wanted their SMALL walkable middle school. The Hamm building could have been build bigger but the neighborhood advocated against it and the Board caved. That's why the capacity is only 1000 instead of 1300. Very short sighted. [/quote]
