[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we're screwed. I mean, I've thought that for a while, and this is just another confirmation.

There were a few letters about schools, but they are going to ignore those, because most quote the "40,000" students number, which the SB made a specific point in addressing in one of the recent meetings, saying that number was 0-14, not students. So anything that has that number they will totally pooh-pooh.

[b]And the Glen Carlyn writer who was all "My kids went to public school but now I don't want any more schools near me"--you suck.[/b]

JFAC is asking for comments again on the new draft, so make your voices known. If you don't mind just shouting into the abyss, that is.

I love how she said a school would "ruin" her neighborhood. Lady, I'm sure the bus depot and materials staging will be so much more pleasant. What don't they understand? It's going to change. The best they can hope for is to get the least bad thing out of the deal.

And traffic is bad, but not because of the schools. It's bad across Arlington because we're not a sleepy little bedroom community any longer and we never will be again. Instead of trying to turn back time and MAGA (make Arlington great again), why not advocate for something that IS in the realm of possibility like a better network of sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, and bike paths, etc., that keep people out of the paths of vehicular traffic. Because we're only going to grow and keep growing, and nothing can stop that, but we can make it less painful for current and future residents by building the necessary infrastructure.
