[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think services follow white children in DC. They dont need them and the extras are (in my opinion correctly) directed elsewhere. Look at all the shiny new under-enrolled schools and per pupil spending outide of ward 3. Extras at w3 schools come from parents not the city. [/quote] city.[/quote] These are red herrings. If you have lived in any other major city you would know that corruption runs deep in politics. The only difference is that DC has the WAPO and DC is heavily monitored. [/quote] No way. I've lived in Boston, NYC and Chicago and DC wins the corruption contest, hands down.[/quote] I think it depends on when you lived in NYC. I lived in NYC during the mid 80's and political corruption ran high. On top of the political corruption, neighborhood segregation was far worse there than in DC. People didn't just segregate based on race, but ethnicities as well. II honestly can't speak about NYC current politicians or the segregation, but during the period I lived there, it was hell and the politicians were rotten to the core. [/quote]
