So, eliminate additional poor people but additional rich people are fine?

Ideally we don’t do the stupid missing middle zoning change so we don’t get many more rich people either.

Why do you think missing middle will bring more rich people? I’m an APS teacher who wants to stay in Arlington and more 6-700,000 townhomes or duplexes would help me do that

You won’t stay in townhouse with a family if you have money enough to move to FFX.

And they are $1M townhouses. They talk about it’s not middle income housing it’s middle sizing. It’s inane.

This is ridiculous. Plenty of families in Arlington prefer to stay in townhouses instead of move out to Fairfax. I am one of them! Bought my townhouse for $900k a few years ago when I could've also afforded a SFH in Fairfax but wanted to live close in.

How old are your kids? High school age, that’s what we’re talking about. We were also a family in a townhouse a new plenty, and all of them moved to SFH Either in Arlington or Fairfax. A teacher in Arlington does not need to commute downtown, so Fairfax to Arlington is a very reasonable commute

PP here. My kids are in 8th and 6th, and we are staying through high school and maybe college if they go in-state.

Yes

Any projections when high schools will be critically over crowded (like thinking of online classes again or night shift classes like Coach used to suggest)
