[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And another one of those AH Barcroft zealots is now on the civic association board and will do everything he can to stop the association from writing anymore letters opposing additional AH on the west like. He fought fiendishly, and lost, to stop a letter last year. At least his board candidate failed.

And guess where his kids go to school.... ATS!

The board and AH advocates only care about AH, they do. It care about people in SFH.

barcroft apartments need to be zoned to abingdon. They just expanded Abingdon and some of that school's boundary will go to Drew.

Barcroft got screwed when they zoned the arlington mill AH to that school. They could have sent those kids to carlin springs, they are on the street that borders the two zones. Carlin springs had room, barcroft did not and that school really suffered from sudden over crowding because of it.  I live in barcroft, obviously, do not send my kids there and I know no less than a dozen families over the last 5 years that left before there kids were old enough for grade school.[/quote]

I think you're wrong with a couple details. Advocate Dude who was just elected to the board (by about 7 people) doesn't have kids yet. He is completely insufferable. Other advocate dude who is super active on the various list servs and might be on the board has kids at Drew Montessori program I think. Either way, we all know their views are NOT representative of the neighborhood, not even the majority of voting members of the neighborhood association. Problem is nobody has time to go to the stupid CA meetings and most of us aren't great about remembering to pay dues anyway, so out of the hundreds of households there are 100 or fewer that are eligible to vote. Upcoming meeting is about amending the bylaws. I suspect they want to waive the dues for certain individuals, and get more people who live in AH involved in the CA. If they would say which bylaws are being changed prior to the meeting that would be great. Good luck with the 4th of July parade if you chase all the families of means from our neighborhood.
