Why isn't it acceptable to have islands in other parts of town? Like an island around the western end of Columbia Pike? The low income community is large enough to provide a substantial cohort to Williamsburg so no one would feel isolated. Kids south of the Pike are bused all the way to Gunston, so Willimasburg probably isn't any further.

PPs here. Sounds like a great idea to me. Just keep a mile walking perimeter around schools and bus in whoever. How hard is it to understand that some of us want to freaking walk to close by schools. Bus in as many other kids as you want.

Again, you are showing your stupidity. Lyons Village is also south of interstate 66, as are many other planning units. They are not being bussed to Kenmore. Please, do keep it up. I'm loving it. The me you talk, the more ignorant you look about everything, including geography.


Speaking of which, it's Lyon Village.
Nice. I'm sure Lyon Village would be on board to be bussed to Kenmore instead. After all, Stratford is across 66 and Lee highway. See how that looks? Seriously, keep it up.

Hmm, maybe they'll rightfully suggest planning units that don't touch Swanson. You guys are ridiculous to be stating that PUs touching Swanson should be bussed. But please continue posting your sophomoric commentary about whining ; it will only make the affected PUs look more reasonable. Please, keep it up.


No scenario that raises the farm’s numbers at TJ or Kenmore is going to make you guys look reasonable.

Keep it up. You are advocating bussing PUs that touch Swanson to another school. You look ridiculous. Please, keep advocating for that as the best solution.

so which planning units would you move to Kenmore???
Planning units that are not within a mile of Swanson or another neighborhood middle school. It is that easy. But please, keep on talking about the interstate. Maybe we can scoop up PUs that are bussed waaaaaah from Lyons Village and other such locations to Swanson and send to Kenmore instead... Because they're south of 66. Dolt.

I can assure you that there is just as much nastiness coming from the south on this thread. Surprised you can't see that.

The mobilization strategy is very powerful. But will the DH and MM whiners rise like a phoenix from the ashes? I can't wait to find out, these are exciting times. Let's get the popcorn and find out who they throw under the bus....oops I mean on the bus!
