Almost All of Westover voted for V.

But the places already with affordable housing voted for someone who will give them more.

So, I now don’t give a hoot about the SA FARMS rate because people just voted for higher FARMS rate. And I will fight any effort to bus anyone further than the one or two closest schools.

I am genuinely worried about the future of our schools. There won’t be enough invested.

This isn't entirely true. My child is at a very high farms school and our precinct went nearly 40% for V--that is very, very unusual in our neighborhood.

DP, But that means it still went over 60% for MdF, and all that matters in the end is who gets the most votes. ACDC is going to take this outcome as a mandate, so thank your neighbors for voting to screw you over.

Which one?

Yeah, the “NA screws over SA politically” trope is officially dead now.

JV isn't going to run again. He said this would be his last campaign even if he won. We have no voice for a 4th high school now on either the SB or the CB. Its all over.

Somewhere in McLean, a bunch of Republican developers are opening a bottle of expensive wine right now and cheering the stupidity of Arlington residents.

Must be Buckingham (38.5% for Vihstadt), that was the only precinct I could see that goes to a high FARMS school voted nearly 40% for Vihstadt.

SA actually screws themselves over

Or all the childless millennials along the Orange Line screwed themselves ten years from now.

If they don’t build a fourth high school, my only hope is people with more money than me all send their kids to provate school or move.

Vihstadt should turn and run for school board

He has already said he won’t run for office again. And so begins another 30 years of all Democrats on the County Board. I’m sure they are already hatching a plan to cram more AF along the Pike. Maybe they already have a high rise planned at the Madison Community Center. Schools will never get the money or land for a fourth high school.

Yep, time to turn the spigot on for concentrated affordable housing. Schools or services be damned - the people have voted to start cramming them in

How do? SA voters are outnumbered 2 to 1, at least, by NA. Why do you think they've gotten the short end of the stick for 70 years? It's simple math.-

These "dems" are going to have about 2 days of joy before they have to explain to voters that they gave Amazon the farm to get them to locate here. No taxes paid ever, free pool, at taxpayer expense. Once NA realizes they're on the hook for everything from now on, including AH, the tide will turn. This is just a hiccup.

I think most NA democrats who follow local politics already realize this is the case. I think that is true about the SA democrats too. The problem is all the people who don't follow local politics and just vote whatever that stupid sample ballot says. That's the problem.

This is exactly the problem. All of the 20-something childless renters who don’t know any better. I was one of them. I know all too well how it goes.

Nothing new when you're voting on affordable housing. That's what the southern vote for Matt is - the VOICE and other AH advocates insisting we have to build as much as possible wherever possible as soon as possible - unless it's in north arlington where it costs more.
