[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][QUOTE]It seems to me that a purchaser in Crestwood or Palisades had a reasonable expectation of Wilson, and paid a preimum for it, but the purchaser in Anacostia or Eckington or Co Heights did not have a reasonable expectation; they won a lottery, and probably their house was inexpensive (by DC standards!).[/QUOTE]
[b]Why should someone's private real estate investment entitle them to priority access to public schools? Should people who buy houses next to polling places get priority entrance to vote? [/b]If I buy a house near the National Science Foundation should I get first dibs on research grants?

I am not a parent at a DCPS school, but I think both IB and OOB parents have a reasonable "claim" to a school. That's the problem. (But it's not because of any investment. It's because it's something that's been true in the past, and they are expecting/hoping it to be true in the future.)[/quote]You have 'priority access' because you are zoned for the school. Just as your polling place is geographically defined...don't roll up to the Palisades poll site if you live in Capitol Hill and expect to be allowed to vote[/quote]
