[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?

This!!! All the way. When gentrifiers move into the  "hood" taxes rise, police drive by with smiles, and there are 3 Starbucks all within walking distance. They bring their uppababy strollers and Percocet addiction looking for something cheap and whitewash the community. Meanwhile Pam and Javier get uprooted from what they know to be their sacred n.arlington( or any county for that matter). Thus can't afford it and have no other place to go. But some of you are hot n bothered because they come to 'your community' under affordable housing. Well if you don't like it.... Then teach your own offspring to stop venturing out in the middle of their identity crisis hijacking a place they could give zero ufcks about. We can all be happy.[/quote]
