[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fascinating discussion.  I wonder how all the NIMBYs will feel when their property values start dropping.  It's not like people are moving to Arlington for the great restaurants, good weather, or nice architecture.  Location and schools are what it has going for it.  Take schools out of the equation, and it might as well be Hyattsville.    [/quote]

Yes- this x 1 million. I'm involved in our neighborhood civic organization, and all they do is bitch and moan about every little change to the neighborhood. They act like it is *their neighborhood* and anyone under the age of 50 is some sort of carpet bagger who shouldn't be allowed to have any influence on the direction in Arlington. But then when they are ready to retire and move, they sell the crappy unrenovated house that they bought for $180K in the 1970s for $900K and laugh all the way to the bank. [/quote]

I actually had someone from Arlington call me a carpetbagger on DCUM because I didn't move here until my kids were school-aged.  I could have gotten a house at half the price on the other side of the Potomac - moved here for the schools and will move away if the schools deteriorate.[/quote]
