Why put it on school grounds rather than in the RFK lot?
1. District already controls the land - biggest reason
2. Along streetcar route (RFK lot is also)
3. Ease of coordination with school for training program

I'm not sure why the technical training part is "sugarcoating." Shouldn't we be trying to provide DCPS graduates who want it with the skills to land a good job? We currently have an obsession in this country with sending everyone to college whether they can hack it or not; we should really be championing the kind of program that gives students practical skills that can land them a job.

What exactly are the compelling reasons AGAINST the streetcar barn on school grounds? Seems to me neighbors are just complaining about the barn being anywhere near them - I don't think moving the barn 700 feet down the road is going to assuage their fears about anything and everything.
