[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not forget that Nestle is coming soon to Rosslyn with 750 jobs, of all sorts .  It's reasonable to assume many of these people will try to live in Lyon Village or similar areas--or wherever in Arlington.  The overcrowding at ASFS/Key, especially,  will be unsustainable.[/quote]

A good portion of them are from Ohio so they will be experiencing major sticker shock.[/quote]

Really? Why did I think they were coming from CA?[/quote]

Either way, it may not be a fair assumption.  Why would folks from Nestle not have as many varying desires for neighborhoods and homes than anyone else? As we already know on DCUM, some people favor more land or a bigger house, or alternatively a city-based life.  Don't get me wrong, I love Lyon Village and can't afford it, but that doesn't mean everyone and their brother wants to live there.

Heck, plenty of DCUM wouldn't consider it because shockingly it feeds into that sub-par W-L high school.   :roll: [/quote]

I didn't mean to suggest that because of where they're coming from they won't prioritize different things. Just that the sticker shock will probably be less pronounced if they're moving from CA than OH. But yeah, most aren't going to be able to move into $2 million new construction in Lyon Village, even if that's what they'd prefer. Some might decide to try out more urban living in highrise condos or townhomes in the R-B corridor, but I'm sure some will move further out and commute in so they can have a bigger house/yard. And maybe some will even venture into south Arlington, if DCUM hasn't convinced them it's like Compton in the early 90's. I mean, I've heard from a couple difference military families who've been in public/charter schools in CA, and even south Arlington schools come out ahead by comparison. [/quote]
