[quote=Anonymous]Yes, 16:10 the DME's maps are not particularly helpful.  The mileage is not the same. It depends on exactly which block you are talking about but there are blocks that are twice as close to Murch then Hearst that are being rezoned.  People on this chain are saying "close enough": and calling out the Murch families effected by saying that they actually are closer to Hearst, or close enough to Hearst.  But that's not true.  They are closer to Murch.  And they shouldn't be sent to their third closest school b/c people that aren't effected think its "close enough."  There are lots of sites that will tell you exactly for walking distance and when you are speaking about walking distance it makes a big difference.  I maped it and included the distances above.  Those are facts.  People can say they don't care but they can't say it isn't true that they are being sent twice as far and to the third closest school.  And the objection I have focused on is that while this is happening blocks that are further away then these blocks are going to be put into the boundary for the first time.  [/quote]
