[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but all of these families knew that was the case when they bought their houses.  [u]I live one block away [/u]from the rezoning and never in a million years did I think my house would be zoned out of Murch.  Yes, Murch is crowded, but [u]I'm 4 blocks away![/u]  I, unlike many other people on my block, actually feel better about Hearst as a school than Murch because I like small schools and Murch is too big.  But the commute to Hearst is just not workable with our two WOHP, one car household.  [/quote]
I must be confused. When I look at the zoning map (http://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/Murch%20ES.pdf), the closest spot zoned out of Murch is six blocks away.  And that spot looks to be about six blocks from Hearst.  If you're zoned out of Murch, you're likely just as close (or maybe even closer) to Hearst, aren't you?

I don't live around there, so maybe some of those are half-blocks that just look longer on this map.  Is the map not accurate?[/quote]
