Yes... Let's look at facts shall we. The county has placed 4 buildings with 100% CAFS - not mixed income in an area that has one of the biggest concentrations  of market rate  affordable complexes in the county. So awesome! Let's dump more poverty on top of poverty. 
Is anyone surprised the Shell's retail space remains empty? Business know it's shit policy. So does anyone else with half a brain.

yes- you are correct, those 4 bldgs have lots of CAF's in them.  So the county overall has 3400 CAF's- https://arlingtonva.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2013/11/Fact-Sheet_Housing-Budget-Tools.pdf
THose 4 buildings represent approximately 450 of the CAF's in the county, or about 13% of the CAF's.  There are 19 neighborhood schools in Arlington-  so if was feasible to completely and evenly distribute CAF's among neighborhood elementary schools, you would have about 180 CAF's per school.   
However- we all know their are many barriers to actually do so.  450 CAF's in one school district hardly appears to be a intentional plot to concentrate poverty.[/quote]
