[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol people literally refuse to send their kids to schools like Justice, fight against rezoning & busing, fight against multifamily housing in their own neighborhoods…and then wonder why the areas near Lake Barcroft have such concentrated poverty & associated problems. You all caused that.[/quote] Barcroft didn’t cause the poverty around Bailey’s Crossroads and Culmore. The Metro did. Early plans had the Yellow Line terminating around Bailey’s Crossroads by following 395. Huge apartment buildings and other multi family housing was built in anticipation of a train that never came. As a result these developments found themselves in a car-dominated “middle of nowhere suburbia.” It didn’t take long for their desirability to fall and began capturing low-income and immigrant populations.[/quote]
