Suppose to feel bad because the really wonderful private school is having a hard time keeping up with the Joneses??? It wants to push its way it to a residential neighborhood (its first attempt since its other three attempts at commercial sites didn't work out), so lets just totally disrupt people's way of living and AGING IN PLACE so they can keep up and release the "pressure". Just kill me now why don't you.

geez, that’s a bit hysterical. you don’t own the streets - nobody does. anti-school nimbyism based on parking is just another level. as the mom of a SN kid who couldn’t consider River due to its location, I think it’s great it is trying to find a more centrally accessible location to expand to.

What is hysterical is you throwing around NIMBYism and acting like parking and local safety are not a concern. They are a MAJOR concern for those of us that have lived here for over 25+ years and have raised our own kids and now grandkids on these streets. Not having adequate parking for the hundreds of cars that will be coming into the area and adding to the congestion due to the River School's lack of planning and communication is a problem. How you handle your families needs is on you. Are you suddenly going to take the metro or bus with your kid now that the school is considering this centrally accessible location and it wants to expand? This is a residential lot they are trying to get special exception for; this is a private school that is coming from Ward 3 moving to Ward 3. Do not fool yourself.
Where did you end up sending your kid that was better located and did you use public transportation?

yes, we would metro. I thought I made that clear.

this is a city, which you share with others. if you want control move somewhere with an HOA. At least you’re not as bad as my Hill neighbors who were trying to keep out a charter preschool that focuses on low income kids. yes I get it, you think your free parking is more important than anyone else’s use of the public roadway. you have bad values, pretty much.

Would you actually metro from Capitol Hill? By the time you factor in walking to the school from the metro, you are talking about an hour commute each way. That sounds nuts. Or maybe you will decide to move closer
