[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OOB families need University term to get their kids to Key Public Elementary school. That street is despicable. Not a sidewalk in sight. On any given day, every third property has construction or landscaping going on. Rather than offering sidewalks within two blocks of a public elementary school, they got all these flashy signage screaming about a 20 MPH limit, with angry people walking their dogs in the middle of the road. Note that the properties are enormous and could host 4+ vehicles in their driveway instead of in front of their property, their road-facing landscaping is enormous and could easily host walkways, and the road itself can have, in most places, parked car on both sides AND a lane of traffic in each direction.[/quote]

When neighbirhood schools are overcrowded, why is there still OOB enrollment?  [/quote]

Because schools consist of classrooms.

They have to have enough classrooms to hold all of the in-boundary kids. If there are then empty seats in those classrooms, DC law says they have to offer them to any resident of the city. [/quote]
