[quote=Anonymous]I own my own home and pay a lot of tax. I don't feel demonized in the slightest. Instead, I feel that suburban folks repeatedly game the system to get into charter schools that have waiting lists in the hundreds...all while 70% of D.C.'s students living in Wards 7 and 8 are scrounging for a first-rate education and would be happy to go to LAMB or Stokes, or MV. People have a choice whether to RESIDE in DC, MD, or VA. It's not that deep. You can easily commute to work in any of those places and live in another. If you chose to reside in a suburb - your children have access to schools in that suburb. If you chose to live in DC - you should have priority in DC. Investment properties are investment properties. Family homes are family homes. They are treated differently for tax purposes and bankruptcy purposes. I would prefer not to pay state income tax. I have a beach house in DE - but I don't reside there more than 6 months a year....so I have to pay DC income tax. When I retire in DE, and RESIDE there, I can stop paying DC tax. Again, not that deep! [/quote]
