Not only does Mrs. Ross have the right to fund and to set up a charter school if she gets all the proper permissions

I agree with that.

the city is entitled to do whatever it wants with its property.

More or less true.

Actually you misunderstood me. The article is somewhat ambiguous as to whether Ms. Ross is the impetus for moving her school into the NEST building. It does imply that she is. That was my point. That if this is true, she is advocating something the results of which have no impact on her.

That is a habit of liberals, you have to admit.

The siting was the city's idea. I doubt Ross had a whole lot of input into their decision, and there are certainly more desirable sites for her charter program elsewhere in the city. The NEST location is not very convenient for commuter students - I'm guessing that's the city's call.

I also am going to guess that less than 5% of NEST students live within walking distance of the school.

The only "impact" is that the kids who attend sex-segregated classes in the NEST program will be wondering why the kids in the charter program aren't sex-segregated.

That doesn't seem to be much of a hardship to me.
