[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're "indigenous" to DC and our current income would not qualify us for a $250k mortgage.  DH bought our house many years ago using a DC program that helped people buy with no money down.

I guess we should just shoot ourselves or move away....[/quote]

no one has a right to live anywhere, if this was the case everyone would demand subsidies to live in beverly hills. income ratio to subsides and a high average incomes is an indicator of the quality of the public education, quality and education of the residents and safety of the neighborhood[/quote]

& yet our gentrified neighborhood has high average incomes and a high # of people with masters degrees, yet our local school is still pretty crappy...

The out-of-boundary system makes it so that neighborhood gentrification does not equal quick neighborhood school improvement.  But, if more neighborhoods gentrified, there would be fewer impoverished kids to spread around.  Obviously, this does nothing to help the education for those who leave.[/quote]
