[quote=Anonymous]All those neighborhoods have had development say on major land use projects in the last ten years. All of them are no where near Wilson geography wise. Combined they are the biggest NIMBYs (regarding public goods) in the city. Combined they have far and away the highest income and property values in the city (a small supplemental tax - similar to what was done for the stadiums - could raise money for the building and be survivable). Combined they are the least likely to use the public school system. Culturally they are a distinct and different area of town (Shepherd Park has more in common - and is closer - with the other Wilson schools than Georgetown). They stopped using the system and now want back in. Adding them into the Wilson grouping is a luxury that no longer works. Too many schools were closed and buildings divested. Let them figure it out.
