This summer they are finally going to start the process to turn that bare patch of land into a school (which we knew was planned when we bought the house). Unfortunately the school district has decided in its infinite wisdom it will force all school traffic for drop-offs and pick-ups on our street. And they made this decision (and the design/layout of the school) without consulting any of the homeowners that will be affected. The cross street, which also borders the future school, has no homes on it at all. Unbelievable.

We're 2100 sq ft - not bad for a starter home - but now that we have all the new houses up around us, I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic......
