Oh come on, that must be a troll. Nobody can be that self-delusional.

Still waiting . . .

You're being obtuse. A leisurely weekend stroll to Yards Park is quite a bit different than the morning stress of getting a three or four year old dressed, fed and off to school on time. By andsrge, IB Brent families walk their kiddos to school and then continue on to the Capitol South Metro to catch the BL or OR Line. There's also the option of a CaBi kiosk across the street from Brent and a substantial number walk to a nearby Congressional Office Building. The fact is that most Brent parents with PKers are going to drive to VN. Call it what you want, but even a 10 minute round-trip can add up to 40 minutes each day, even without taking into account the need to find parking and walk your kiddo into the school.

Zero. Van Ness is where it's at.

Is this a joke? Or did you really think people who live in-boundary for Brent are going to continue commuting to VN?

You mustn't be from the neighborhood, if you're talking about the "commute." The Brent families (who are actually in-bounds) are in the Van Ness area all the time - Yards Park, fountain, Ice Cream Jubilee, etc.
