[quote=Anonymous]Can somebody explain the VHC deal to me? I'm assuming the County Board makes the decision to buy the land and how to use it. So the School Board can't do anything other than lobby to have it set aside for a school? All we've been hearing at the CIP meetings is that there is no land for a fourth high school, so this VHC land deal is very confusing to me.

The parks vs. schools debate is so aggravating, because many of our parks and community centers were originally built as schools.  When APS enrollment dropped a few decades ago, they consolidated and turned them into community centers. I love parks in Arlington too, but we have so many already and the idea of buying that VHC land and turning it into another park is just crazy. And if I hear another cranky baby boomer complaining about traffic, I am going to lose my mind! This idea that we can freeze Arlington into whatever it was in the 1980s when they all raised their kids here is just crazy talk. If they want less traffic, they need to cash out their house and move to West Virginia-- this is Washington, DC-- of course there is traffic.[/quote]
