[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]they don't want to move up the Red line to Ward 3 because it takes longer to get to work, could only buy a crappy tiny house (see Real Estate threads on AU Park/Ch Ch DC etc)[/quote] Just a quibble, but, I'm not sure you're actually familiar with the housing stock in Ward 3 in 2013? When compared with the housing stock in neighborhoods actually discussed just on this thread -- Brookland, Petworth, Michigan Park -- the housing stock in Ward 3 can no way be described as "crappy." Small, you bet. Crappy, no. I will allow there are some[i] amazing r[/i]estored Victorian rowhouses in Logan, far fewer in Shaw and Bloomingdale. The Hill. But you guys aren't talking about those $2 million, 4-story grand dames on 13th and Q, right? [/quote] Sorry, but what are you talking about? Have you looked at Real Estate listings, recently? There is some ugly junk in 20015, 20016, etc. and it's pretending to be desirable (despite looking like a hamster-cage). No matter how "special" you believe your elementary school to be, when there are more than 25 students per classroom? The "special" DCPS isn't so special. & any attempt to suggest that it is, is either about propping-up your mortgage, or trying to maintain your job at an over-valued elementary school that doesn't even offer foreign languages.
