[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I've seen, there are 1 or 2 people in 1502 losing getting pretty worked up about this.  It totally makes sense why APS is considering moving them.  It's the only planning unit in the neighborhood not at Yorktown.  It's edges are George Mason & Wash. Blvd.  It's basically half-way in between YT and WL, so the walkable arguments are nonsense.  Then, you've got Glebe folks from the other side of Mason saying their neighbors are being moved, but really, they families are being moved to be with their actual neighbors.  It's a weird situation, for sure![/quote]

It's not weird. In a densely populated county, there is simply no way to draw boundaries that won't break up some "neighbors." The lines have to go somewhere. You can scream that you're being separated from your neighbors, but if they move the lines over a street or two, now someone else is being separated from their neighbors. It's just the way it is. I live at the very corner of a planning unit, so the neighbors across the street go to a different elementary school and the neighbors on the block behind us go to a third elementary school. ~shrug~[/quote]
