[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Hardy fellow,
Nobody was having any secret meetings to screw Hardy. The Hyde community was denied the Ellington field due to selfish Burleith residents and the political connections of DESA. We were told it was totally off the table. We were also told that with the closing of Fillmore that Hardy could be possible. We begged with them to explore it. WE WANTED THEM TO WORK WITH PRINCIPAL PRIDE AND THE HARDY COMMUNITY TO MAKE IT WORK. We didn't "go behind your back" we were working with a DGS and DCPS that works in a complete black box. We can't make them do things. And the plan to take all of Hardy's space was not our idea nor our desire. It was clearly a plan put forward by DCPS to be objectionable to Hardy. It was way larger than necessary. DCPS doesn't want Hyde at Hardy and did everything possible to put forward an unacceptable plan. There was some hope that with the mayor behind it, DCPS might actually pursue a workable solution in concert with the Hardy community. But that's not going to happen now. So you win. But just stop being a fucking dick about it. We weren't trying to screw you over. We were just trying to make the best of a terrible situation and were working against an incompetent DCPS.[/quote]

OMG - who is calling who selfish!  The Georgetown neighborhood (IB for Hyde) first rejected the idea of trailers there.  Why is Burleith particularly more selfish than any other neighborhood working for self preservation.  What benefit would they have for having their one park area overtaken by trailers for at least a year if not more, and all the added traffic, and the analysis that showed the added traffic would be enough to endanger the hospital route to Georgetown hospital (again where Hyde IB families would likely be taken during an emergency!)  The issue here is how entitled the Hyde parents have been at expecting other schools and neighborhoods to be severely inconvenienced too.  Of course no one wants to have their kids bussed across town and the options DCPS have laid out are not great - but trying to 'power grab' and expect others to bend over for you all is beyond the pale.[/quote]
