[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The block swap simply switches some sparsely populated Hearst blocks to Murch and some heavily populated apartment blocks from Murch to Hearst.

I do love charter posters who think they aren't affected by this at all. The common lottery was just the first step my friend. [/quote]

But that makes no sense at all.  If there is any room at all at Murch it should be taken by the current Murch blocks.  If they didn't do the "swap" then at least some of the 5 blocks that are - against their will - being moved from Murch to Hearst would have room to stay.  The DME has said repeatedly that the preference was to make NO change where ever possible and to honor proximity to the greatest extent possible.  If there is room to swap in ANY block to Murch then there is room to not do that and keep some existing block in Murch esp when the existing Murch blocks are closer to Murch then the swap blocks.  The existence of this element is further evidence that the DME proposals are not well thought out or supported by real necessity or data.  Again, I will not be surprised to learn that there is someone connected living in those swap blocks.[/quote]

Actually the farthest blocks of Murch were resigned which is a change from their first proposal. This swap makes sense to me. Not only making Ablemarle a division instead of jumping around but also removing some of the populated Murch blocks.

This isn't finalized (though I think these will stick for Murch) and current children aren't affected. [/quote]
