[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who mentioned the Minnesota study. I agree that Arlington does not use zoning to help south Arlington. But I think the board  needs to be reminded about the poverty concentration caveat with Minnesota. If they like the way Minnesota does it, do it like them.

It is possible to stop a caf development. You have to attend housing commission meetings and closely monitor arlington’s development website. The housing commission itself is useless because it is predominantly people tied to affordable housing, but you can make your voice heard and ON RECORD. And, you can meet with individual county board members, speak at board meetings and write letters. It works. I have done it. But you have to have a group, especially if you can get your civic association. ONLY way to stop a caf if you are a private citizen. [/quote]

What was your argument? How did you say “I don’t want those people living near me” in a way that got traction?[/quote]

The more relevant question is "What neighborhood do you live in."  [/quote]
