Only go to schools? So you don't need things like roads, police, fire, parks, etc?

I've heard that the Shoreline "redevelopment" district is technically a bit different from others and may not be categorized similarly to other redevelopment districts. If the Voice does a follow-up, perhaps they could investigate that too.
