[quote=Anonymous]Ok, let's educate here:

1. Barcroft elementary has a new principal. School had been on a upward trajectory for a while and more and more local sfh parents were sending their kids. Then a new principal came and undid everything, she was a disaster and good riddance. Good luck new lady, we are rooting for you, but already sent kiddo elsewhere.

2. The barcroft apartments' owner has already sold development rights. Long gone. The plan is to add more garden apartments and infill. Same for all areas on western Pike, see Columbia hills. Affordable housing developers tried to do more infill for one area, but vocal locals forced them to back down, for now. They will be back. When the time comes for additions to barcroft apartments, if the sfh community cares anything about schools, density, property values and well, the right of children to get a decent education regardless of how much money they have, then fight those plans. People in north Arlington do it.

Read the Pike plan, the whole central and western Pike is deliberately zoned to prevent gentrification of any kind. All housing and commercial properties are meant to serve the poorer community and no one else. Period. And the board is working on more ways of forcing affordable housing on mixed use commercial developments.

John Vihstadt is the only reasonable person on the board, but he is only one vote so nothing stops the developers. [/quote]
