Our main source of indecision  regarding whether or not to move off Capital Hill back to our house had to do with how well suited living over South Lake Union (over to the right, slightly out of frame) and downtown Seattle (over to the left) suited us.

When we moved to the Hill in 2019, Kimmer worked in Ballard, I worked a combination of home, the UW, and Small World Productions over by Madrona. So when we moved, we moved to within a few miles of everywhere we worked.

Of course when everything shut down at the beginning of 2020, the Ballard office closed down and Kimmer became fully online from her home office that faced the Seattle skyline from the east. Lake Union, Queen Anne Hill, and the Space Needle became part of her every day at work. Me, the beginning of 2020 marked the end of editing with my trusty iMac that in no way was able to cut 4K footage, so, on the advice of a friend who's well versed in post-production, I reached out to Puget Systems in North Auburn, a specialty business that put together my Adobe-centric work station that enabled a transition to fully working from the apartment for a time. Clients would literally do drive-bys in front of our apartment building to hand over hard drives.

By 'n by, I was out and about again with some work at the apartment but increasingly on location using a combination of walking, light rail, bus, and an occasional drive. It was all convenient. It was all quick.

Kimmer, in the meantime, continued fully online in front of Seattle up close and the Olympic Mountains in the distance.

Then we moved.

And it wasn't the worst. thing. ever.

The house, in fact, is more suited to our life together right now than it was when we moved out four years ago. There's been a fair bit of remodeling in those four years and it definitely shows. Kimmer's still online with a coupla days in Edmonds which is a bit like driving to Ballard when we lived in the Hill. 

And my commute?

Well, lemme just say I did this before we moved to Seattle and, in the intervening years, public transportation's gotten better. Especially with light rail. 

Of course it's not only that public transportation's gotten better... in most cases I've simply learned how to use it to get to more places. Definitely thanks to Google Maps.

Which means we haven't had to give up on our favorite Seattle hangs. I can take a bus from work and easily land at Pub 70 to meet Kimmer. Or we'll meet that way at Linzy's place. Or, like last night, I'll take a bus and a trolley to Tapster on South Lake Union where we'll meet up for drinks. And if we're in the mood for a movie after work, there's a bus leaving the Northgate light rail station that drops me directly across the street from the Crest Theater in Shoreline.

And so on.

Definitely there are more affordable shopping options on my way home from the Lynnwood Transit Center than anywhere between my work in Seattle and the apartment.

My point?

Most of what I just described, well, I didn't think of them while we were figuring out whether to move or not. It all just seemed like downside until there was no financial choice but to move... and we moved.

And danged if that didn't just work out for us.

Huzzah!!!!!

President Keith Curry is now plotting for a new sort of fame, with the two-year school officially regaining its independence earlier this month after more than a dozen years of rebuilding its model. 

Situated on an 83-acre campus about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the school enrolls about 12,000 students — barely more than the 10,800 college students it enrolled through the 2004-05 educational yr, prior to dropping accreditation.

“My considering is that we need to be a type of faculties that folks take a look at as doing good work for college kids,” Curry informed EdSource. “Why can’t Compton School win an Aspen award by 2024?” 

Compton School

Compton School CEO Keith Curry has helped steadily reform the school since taking up in 2011.

It’s probably the most formidable of a collection of objectives that Curry has set for the school as part of a turnaround he has led since turning into chief government of the school in 2011. 

The Accrediting Fee for Group and Junior Schools (ACCJC) in 2005 stripped the school of its accreditation, citing fiscal instability and corruption on the governing board. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 signed AB 318, which offered the school with $30 million in emergency funding and enabled it to continue to operate as a satellite tv for pc campus of the El Camino Group School District. 

After dropping its accreditation and merging with El Camino, Compton School was renamed El Camino School Compton Middle. College students might still enroll at the Compton campus however acquired levels from El Camino.

Since then, Compton School has undergone a collection of reforms that put the school on the path back to accreditation. 

An analysis submitted to the accrediting fee by a workforce of twelve group school educators in California credited Compton School directors with restoring the school to fiscal stability. The school reversed years of deficit spending, steadily increased its reserves and lowered the variety of audit irregularities in its financial studies from a high of 26 in 2011 to zero annually since 2014. 

The varsity has opened new amenities, most notably the Library-Scholar Success Middle, a state-of-the-art building that Curry describes as a logo of the school’s progress. In addition to a library, it houses centers for tutoring, math and science, and studying and writing. 

In 2017, the school introduced the Compton School Promise program, which waives enrollment fees for highschool students from Compton, Lynwood and Paramount Unified faculty districts who attend the school the fall after their high school graduation. 

Since dropping its accreditation, the school also has began providing new educational packages, together with cosmetology, heating and ventilation, and air con.

The accrediting commission in 2017 put Compton School on the trail again to accreditation and in 2018 authorised returning control of the school to the Compton Group School District, permitting the school to once more stand alone underneath local management. The school formally turned unbiased from El Camino on June 7.

No less than some Compton School students stated they weren’t conscious of the challenges the school has endured or its street again to accreditation. 

Felix Feliu, a first-year scholar learning pc science, stated he wasn’t aware of the school’s challenges with accreditation till he enrolled just lately. 

“I came upon in all probability like a month in the past,” he stated.

 Cachét Benham, a first-year scholar learning psychology, and Cevin Garrett, a first-year scholar learning enterprise, additionally stated they didn’t know the school had ever misplaced its accreditation or that it deliberate to separate from El Camino. 

“It was a sudden thing, like, ‘Oh, we’re not going to be with El Camino anymore,’” Benham stated. “We’re just going to be Compton School.’” 

Other members of the campus and area people say that the return to independence and local management is an important step. 

Paul Flor, a professor of political science who helped lead the transition from El Camino School, noted that Compton School is “among the first, pioneer group schools in California,” having existed since 1927. 

“To have thought that perhaps this institution was going to vanish would’ve been a critical blow to the group,” he stated.

Assemblyman Mike Gipson, D-Compton, who in 2017 helped secure $11.three million in state dollars to help the school in its transition back to accreditation, emphasised that Compton School “has its personal id.”

“It is going to by no means be eclipsed by El Camino,” he added.

But because of their financial status, they’re simply not capable of advance as a lot as they want to,” stated Essie French-Preston, a counselor who has labored on the school in quite a lot of roles since 1986. “In consequence, for a lot of them, Compton School is a light-weight. It’s a chance.” 

The California State Legislature final yr set aside funding for Compton School by way of the 2023-24 fiscal yr. Annually until then, the California Group Schools Board of Governors will allocate funding to Compton School for no less than 5,979 full-time students — the quantity that have been enrolled at the school in 2017-18 — plus cost-of-living changes, even if enrollment have been to decrease.

School leaders consider this process will scale back the number of unnecessary programs that students take and streamline college students’ paths to finishing school and advancing to further their schooling or discover employment. 

Presently, solely about 35 % of Compton School students full their degrees or certificate or transfer inside six years. Across California, about 48.2 % of group school college students transfer or depart with a level or certificates inside six years.

“Meaning African-People and Latinx individuals are usually not finishing their larger schooling in our group,” he added. “And I’m not OK with that. We have now to focus in on their completion.” 

The school will establish partnerships locally and with native Okay-12 faculties, offering courses at local excessive faculties and providing more transportation choices to raised put together students for school.

The Accrediting Fee for Group and Junior Schools (ACCJC) in 2005 stripped the school of its accreditation, citing fiscal instability and corruption on the governing board. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 signed AB 318, which offered the school with $30 million in emergency funding and enabled it to continue to operate as a satellite tv for pc campus of the El Camino Group School District. 

After dropping its accreditation and merging with El Camino, Compton School was renamed El Camino School Compton Middle. College students might still enroll at the Compton campus however acquired levels from El Camino.

Since then, Compton School has undergone a collection of reforms that put the school on the path back to accreditation. 

An analysis submitted to the accrediting fee by a workforce of twelve group school educators in California credited Compton School directors with restoring the school to fiscal stability. The school reversed years of deficit spending, steadily increased its reserves and lowered the variety of audit irregularities in its financial studies from a high of 26 in 2011 to zero annually since 2014. 

The varsity has opened new amenities, most notably the Library-Scholar Success Middle, a state-of-the-art building that Curry describes as a logo of the school’s progress. In addition to a library, it houses centers for tutoring, math and science, and studying and writing. 

In 2017, the school introduced the Compton School Promise program, which waives enrollment fees for highschool students from Compton, Lynwood and Paramount Unified faculty districts who attend the school the fall after their high school graduation. 

Since dropping its accreditation, the school also has began providing new educational packages, together with cosmetology, heating and ventilation, and air con.

“It was a sudden thing, like, ‘Oh, we’re not going to be with El Camino anymore,’” Benham stated. “We’re just going to be Compton School.’” 

Other members of the campus and area people say that the return to independence and local management is an important step. 

Paul Flor, a professor of political science who helped lead the transition from El Camino School, noted that Compton School is “among the first, pioneer group schools in California,” having existed since 1927. 

“To have thought that perhaps this institution was going to vanish would’ve been a critical blow to the group,” he stated.

“It is going to by no means be eclipsed by El Camino,” he added. 

Now that the school is once more a standalone faculty, Curry doesn’t need its progress to stop there. 

Beneath Compton School’s lately launched master plan, Compton School 2024, the school’s leaders plan to overhaul the campus physically, revamp the varsity’s educational program offerings and drastically develop enrollment, retention and completion rates.

But because of their financial status, they’re simply not capable of advance as a lot as they want to,” stated Essie French-Preston, a counselor who has labored on the school in quite a lot of roles since 1986. “In consequence, for a lot of them, Compton School is a light-weight.

Once they’ve selected a pathway, college students will take courses based mostly on specific program “maps” that element the programs students want to finish a degree of their chosen pathways.

School leaders consider this process will scale back the number of unnecessary programs that students take and streamline college students’ paths to finishing school and advancing to further their schooling or discover employment.

Proposed Character Areas and Existing Character Areas - City of Brookhaven, GA

A part of our Areawide Land Policy Map project is to revise the existing character area map to serve our purpose, which in our case is to promoting ecological aspect. We eventually came out with 4 proposed areas:

(Picture from left to right: existing character areas map by city of Brookhaven, our proposed character areas map, final version based on our proposal)

Parks and Homes District: combined by Perimeter Center, Lakes District &  Blackburn Park Neighborhood Center. This district is characterized by sprawling single-family development and high-value property, with pockets of denser, multi-family development in northwestern and eastern corners of the district.

Central Brookhaven: comprised of Historic Brookhaven, Lynwood Park, Osborne, and Peachtree Corridor Overlay District is predominantly single family residential lots, with a small commercial center in Historic Brookhaven. This district of the City acts as an urban transition zone between the City of Atlanta and the northern suburbs.

Ashford Heights: combined by Ashford Park and Brookhaven Heights. Each of these neighborhoods is characterized by suburban development patterns serving detached single-family homes, though lot sizes in these neighborhoods are notably smaller than those found in the Parks & Homes District.

Buford Highway Mixed-Use District: combined by Buford Highway Corridor, Roxboro, Briarwood Park & Lenox Park. The district is primarily made up of underdeveloped land and contains North Fork Peachtree Creek, a potentially huge amenity to the City of Brookhaven. Because of the variety of services offered in this portion of Brookhaven, green infrastructure improvements could act as a catalyst to spawn redevelopment.

Transportation Corridors

A transportation corridor is a long, narrow strip of property that includes surface, subsurface, and air rights. It often connects two or more areas restricted to surface, subsurface, and air rights, for the deportation of goods and passengers. 

Some examples of transportation corridors are: railroad and mass transit lines, public and private roads, pipelines, including oil, gas, water, and sewer lines, fiber optics, pedestrians pathways, aqueducts and canals, television cables, and electrical transmission lines. 

How to Appraise a Transportation Corridor

There are different methods that can be used when appraising a transportation corridor, including Replacement Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD), Corridor Value (CV), Sales Comparison Approach, Across the Fence Value (ATF), Net Liquidation Value (NLV), and Going Concern Value (GCV). [1]

Replacement Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) is based on the principle of substitution and is more commonly referred to as the “cost of assemblage.”  It includes the cost of the part taken, appraisal costs, negations costs, title costs, grading costs, project management costs, and the acquisition and demolition of buildings.  According to Dolman and Seymour, this cost can range from two to six times the Across the Fence (ATF) value.  The Court of Appeals in People v. Southern Pacific Transportation Company (1978) held that “the cost of reproduction is an acceptable approach to a determination of just compensation.”

When several similar commensurate commodities, goods or services are available, the one with the lowest price attracts the greatest demand and the widest distribution.   Corridor Value (CV) is determined by multiplying the ATF value and the enhancement factor.  The enhancement factor is arrived at by dividing the sales price of a corridor by its ATF value.

Sales Comparison Approach is applicable when there are several sales or comparables that have sold in the subject’s market area.  This approach is seldom used since there are relatively few transactions of transportation corridors that sell in the same market area.

The underlying assumption in the Across the Fence (ATF) method is that land in the transportation corridor is equal to the value of adjoining lands.  When using this method, the property is divided down the centerline and each half is joined to the adjacent parcel along with the adjacent property’s highest and best use and unit value.  The ATF is the sales comparison approach modified to the degree that shape, size, topography, and access are disregarded.  The State Board of Equalization, railroad companies, utility companies and public agencies use this method more than others when assessing value of operating and non-operating property, ground rent, and public and private streets.

The Net Liquidation Value (NLV) is the present value of the net amount the owner will realize if the corridor is sold piecemeal over a reasonable time period.  Net proceeds are determined after administrative, marketing, real estate taxes, and cleanup costs are deducted from the gross revenues. 

The Going Concern Value (GCV) is the expected future profits discounted to today’s value at a rate reflecting the quantity, quality, and durability of the income.

Appraising transportation corridors is a challenging endeavor, but can be accomplished by using one or more of the methods outlined above.
