[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditto on the older folks. I live in Barcroft and moved here as the school was tanking. It was obvious, the principal basically said so. When the affordable housing master plan started to come up, what, 2 years ago, with another directive to put more affordable housing along the Pike, the old timers and kid who do NOT send their kids to Barcroft were the most vocal. Huge deal with our civic association. When the ringleader lost his effort to have the civic association support the plan, he tried to invalidate the vote. None of these people have skin in the Barcroft school yet they are vocal and self righteous.[b] Amazingly, when the new food star developers came to talk to the civic association last month, some of the old timers were wondering why that development won't have more affordable housing for families. It just does not end for them. [/b] [/quote]

I live in Alcova and can't wait for Food Star to close. It's an eye sore and every time I shopped there the produce was rotting. I'm all for mixed income communities, but the focus on cramming affordable housing around the Pike is stupid.

I worry that my kids will not get into a choice school and be lost in the shuffle at Barcroft, if the problems I read about persist. I'm hoping that what people are saying about new leadership will be true. I would like my kids to go to a neighborhood school, just not one that doesn't serve our needs.
