[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it'd be particularly disheartening for someone in bound for bruce monroe to have their school publicly crapped on by the face of gentrification because it's "not as good as powell" or something like that.[/quote]

Which is probably why he is not mentioning Bruce Monroe in the statement on his blog. Rather, we are discussing it here. But he chose (or he and his wife chose) a decision they thought was right for their children, not what was right for "the face of gentrification" (if DS even considered himself that)

I do not think publishing a popular blog with pictures of pretty houses, and of pets, that give the latest restaurant openings, obliges someone to send their kids to a school they think will not work for their kids.

Gentrification will happen, inevitably, in a city with the real estate market DC has.  I see no reason to shame someone for not being enough of a gentrifier. Its just a spectacularlyodd POV, IMO.  Gentrification may be a net positive for the city, but being a gentrifier does not make you Mother Theresa.  (and I don't think DS ever said that it did, BTW) [/quote]
