[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's lots of affordable housing north of Lee - check out the Courthouse area. But the idea that you're going to put one random AH building up by Chain Bridge is insane. The problem is location. I live in a townhouse just off of Lee Highway that by its nature should be a very middle middle class kind of housing, but the location means that yes, I have a lot of money to be able to afford it. My house is currently zoned Glebe/Williamsburg and now will go Glebe/Stratford and I'm thrilled. I don't want my kid in the rich white kid school. I went to one and know what goes on there.

You simply can't social-engineer this issue with some middle school boundaries. And trust me, [b]if they finally redevelop this somewhat run-down area of Lee Highway, it's not going to ultimately wind up with more lower income people. [/b]They built an apartment building behind me, which while it has a few AH units, has jacked up the prices and set ridiculous rents. And people are paying them. You pay $150 a month for the first space in the building, so now our local streets are jammed with cars so the homeowners in the townhouses - which do not have multi car garages or functional driveways - have nowhere to park. The only option the county gives us is to take our street private so they can weasel out of maintenance and upkeep. AH without the proper infrastructure is insane. So I just want my kid to walk to school - I don't care that Williamsburg is a Richie Rich school.[/quote]

It could, if the developers pursued the property for all CAF. No reason it's less possible here than anywhere else in Arlington. [/quote]
