[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hesitate to reopen/relitigate this point, but:

The vast majority of negative Murch response to the originally proposed Hearst rezoning was about the silliness of people a few blocks from Murch being sent to a school almost a mile away. (Related: It disproportionately affected families in apartment buildings on Conn. Ave. who presumably were less likely to have cars and thus more dependent on walkable proximity to the school.)

In fact, a few blocks of Murch's southern boundary still did get rezoned to Hearst, and there was no outcry about that decision--because the southern boundary of Murch is, in fact, nearly equidistant to Hearst and Murch. There was no ground to protest, and no one has.

(This is also why the Murch-to-Lafayette rezone makes sense--the area they moved is actually equidistant between the schools.)

I can't speak for Janney resistance to their proposed changes. [/quote]

Actually the Murch families are still making noise, just less so on this forum.  For example, the ANC 3F passed another resolution protesting the June proposal, and I am sure they will do so again.[/quote]
