lol, exactly. Even the notion of it is hilarious, Suburbandude.
Bay Ridge was the only neighborhood in Brooklyn mentioned in the article with wait lists. How nice that is for all those who moved waayy out there almost exclusively for access to public schools. They may as well have moved to CT or NJ, now. (I love Bay Ridge; I just think people should be honest in describing its commute times).
Bxgirl – find me on right-wing conservative on the Upper West Side. Just one.
You mean right wing conservatives, suburbandude. Us liberals are the ones who fought for diversity and equal rights.
“The councils, which are made up of parents, are generally careful about zone changes because the issue is sensitive, though the District 3 council made some changes last year.”
Those are code words for wealthy Upper West Side limousine liberals not wanting their kids going to school with black and Hispanic kids from the projects. Only working-class whites from Yonkers should be subject to that.
