[quote=Anonymous]Anyone who proclaims affordable housing is what will save Arlington’s diversity has missed the point. Our diversity comes from having people from all walks of life and all income levels. The way the county is going, we have an increasing divide between ultra poor (AH) and ultra wealthy. We are losing middle class families and part of the reason is that our county is hyper-focused on AH instead of how to keep middle class families, as well as our teachers and other community helpers living in the county.

The new MS maps are less gerrymandered than I expected, but they are sad. I, too, would have liked to have seen better economic diversity; however, AH is not the answer. Instead of buying up houses and turning them into parkland, how about the county renting those houses at a market-rate? All of the seniors who get property tax relief and call for AH should rent out their homes at market rate when they leave their houses instead of cashing in and selling out to the developers.[/quote]
