Re: Long Bridge Park-- even if you could clean up the environmental issues, the property is on the flight path from DCA which you can't change. Here's an older article from WaPo with some history about the site:

thanks for the link. a good read (been wondering what Long Bridge was). though i didn't see the flight path problem. is it the jet residue that a CC resident was quoted 15 years ago?

Oh FFS. I know they're not line workers. As if line workers could afford Arlington, even south Arlington. Only a small percentage of the corporate employees will have salaries in the range you're describing as highly paid "executives," and yes, they will probably opt for private schools. But there will be numerous middle management and support staff positions. There have already been people on the Real Estate forum moving with Neslte asking for recommendations w/housing budgets in the $900,000 range in Arlington. They've also asked about public schools.
