[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shepherd Park is zoned for Deal.[/quote]
Then what the heck are you whining about?!?  No one's trying to get you booted from Deal.[/quote]

I'm the PP, but different from whomever you're addressing. There has definitely been support for cutting Shepherd Park out of the Deal Boundary.  Oddly (or not) the reaction to cutting [b]Oyster - geographically a lot further than Shepherd[/b] - was exactly the opposite. [/quote]

The Oyster neighborhood is very conveniently linked to both Deal and Wilson by Metro. Shepherd Park students need to be driven, either by SUV (this seems to be the preferred method) or by buses. Cities need to think in terms of moving people efficiently, which is much more relevant than as-the-car-drives distance.[/quote]

Key/Mann/Stoddert have no metro rail access to anywhere.  Neither does most of Ward 7.  In fact, large portions of the city don't have metroRAIL access.  Thank goodness (or WMATA) for bus lines.

The "we're closer because of the red line" argument is outstanding in its level of tone-deafness, Marie Antoinette.[/quote]
