[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money, space. 
If you are interested in this year there are still slots and they have been more flexible on requirements due to covid. [/quote]

A lot of money and a lot of space. We have neither. There are slots for VPI but the income requirements are still there. VPI is intended for families where pre-k wouldn't otherwise be an option financially.[/quote]

And with all of the Affordable Housing coming online in the next few years, Arlington will be scrambling just to find room/money for those kiddos.  There won’t ever be universal pre-K here.  They need to find space for everyone at K and up, too.[/quote]

Every affordable housing complex should be forced to make room for a preschool/daycare on the lobby level.  [/quote]

They should really limit how many kids can live in these units. We don’t have space for the students we already have.[/quote]

I don’t think they would be allowed to do that under current housing laws related to nondiscrimination. It’s true that Affordable Housing generates more kids than any other type of unit, but this is what the Democratic voters want and are voting for.  Every current Board member openly supports these housing policies. APS will have to adapt with nontraditional solutions for schools.[/quote]

Affordable housing units should only be available to those who are US citizens and provide yearly proof of employment in Arlington (why are we subsidizing housing for those that work outside of our community?)

Rules can be changed. Enough is enough.

Are you kidding me? First of all, [i]most[/i] people who live in Arlington don't work in Arlington, they work in DC or Fairfax (Tyson's or Belvoir). Second, most lower income people who work in Arlington don't live in Arlington (they live in Fairfax or PG County, so someone else is subsidizing [i]them[/i]. [/quote]
