[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why TF does the county not prioritize our schools? Ridiculous. [/quote] cynical take - County prioritizes young renters, because they provide more tax revenue on a per sq ft basis (density gives more $$$) and they also use less services (schools), so the County saves $$ there. and they pay less attention to local politics since they're more itinerant, and vote D when they do, maintaining the county board's power. whenever you hear a CB member complain about giving *too much* money to APS, remember this[/quote] Also keep in mind only 20% of Arlington households have school-aged children, and way too few of you take the time to get involved, vote in the Dem caucus or show up at the polls. People don’t pay attention before they have kids, and after they have kids their priorities shift. Start engaging your neighbors with infants and toddlers and get them to care now. [/quote]
