[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]

I lived in AU Park. Most of the houses are super small and crappy old construction. Not even close to being worth their value. I lived in what I considered to be a $1M dollar tear down. Most of the other houses I have been in are poor quality too. I didn't send my kids to DCPS (Janney) because I disagree with most of the curriculum. I don't want my kids to be taught to the test. I think with each new mayor, DCPS changes hands and strategies. Good school or bad school, they are all in DCPS! Kaya and all before her really don't know what they are doing. DCPS is bureaucratic chaos, always.[/quote]
