[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you explain this South Arlington delusion to which you refer? Sorry, I’m not getting it. I bought a house in the Henry zone. I’m not delusional about the demographics outside of the well-rated 22204 schools. I just want my kids to go to a good school, again like I imagined they would when I bought my house. Please enlighten me.[/quote]

drew is a finally going to have a fantastic neighborhood school! 
Delusional.
All of those affordable units walkable to Oakridge will stay there and we will only get the high end town homes near Shirlington and part of the sfh’s in Douglas Park. 
Delusional.
Barcroft just needs to get rid of the year round calendar and it will be just like Henry
Delusional
Barcroft Apartments will soon be torn down to make way for town homes.
Delusional 
The food Star is gone= gentrification is eminent 
Delusional.

I could go on...[/quote]

You're the delusional one, and can't do math apparently. All of Oakridge's AH is going to move to Drew, and even so it will still be less than half what Carlin Springs is managing. It will never be Henry/Fleet/Oakridge. But it won't be Carlin Springs either.

Food Star is a giant hole in the ground. They've poured the foundation. It's not going to be anything better or worse than Penrose. Actually, it is going to be better than Penrose because it's going to have a Harris Teeter rather than a Giant, and green space rather than a concrete heat island. Frankly, I don't care whether it's a sign of "gentrification," though if you want to get technical, it is the text book definition of "gentrification." I am that glad there will be a grocery store that I want to shop in within walking distance of my house. Maybe that makes me a terrible person, but I thought the Food Star smelled bad and looked dirty. My neighbors agree, and are very happy with the new development.

The Barcroft Apartments aren't going to be torn down, and they will largely remain zoned to Randolph.

The Barcroft calendar needs to change because it's expensive and doesn't make any sense. Maybe it would help keep more neighborhood kids at the school, maybe not. But it needs to go either way.

Anything else I can clear up for you?

Nope. You’ve proved my point flawlessly. Thanks.[/quote]

I feel like you think you're talking to the same person. There are at least two of us responding to your hysteria. [/quote]
