[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seriously don't understand the level of hate that is pointed out affordable housing.
Nor am I certain what different things different posters are talking about.
Arlington is not increasing affordable housing, in order to bring people into the community.  Rather, they are trying to ensure that market rate affordable housing is replaced with some dedicated affordable units.
Those are not coming out of the county budget.
Now- the rental assistance housing grant program, does come out of the budget.  The eligibility for a housing grant is the following;
Eligibility Requirements

This program serves Arlington renters who are:

65 years or older
Totally and permanently disabled
Working families with at least one child under age 18
Clients and patients of a County-operated or County-supported mental health program
plus, income guidelines based on family size-

Which of those categories of people do you think shouldn't be helped?   Who is your vitriol directed at?

Where do you think the money for CAF's is coming from? There's something like 36mil in the affordable housing fund.
There's soemthing like a couple hundred thousand put aside for county employees... 
So who is this money helping?

It sounds so simple when you say that CAF's are replacing market place affordable housing. Most people would be fine with it, if that was how it was being rolled out on the west Pike. It isn't. Still plenty of market rate housing, and the county is adding CAF's on top of it. They can't get business to set up shop. It's a shit show. 
Quit ignoring reality.
