[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who asks if people care about spreading out the poverty in achools vs just insulating their kid ... Ha ha ha! It is obviously the latter. [/quote]

It was actually a rhetorical question. Sadly, I think we all knew the answer.

I agree with one of the other PPs - Fairfax should do more to spread the low income housing throughout the county. I think that areas within a school boundary with higher than average FARMs should not be permitted to have any new affordable rate units set aside for new construction. Moreover, I think that areas with lower than average FARMs elementary schools should be required to have a higher percentage of units set aside as affordable units for new construction than what is currently required. I think it's a better alternative to busing and/or boundary adjustments. For example, there are some new developments planned in Mason District (Stuart, Annandale and Edison pyramids) and according to county requirements, a certain percentage will have to be set aside as affordable units - why? The area already has more than its fair share of affordable units.[/quote]

I disagree on one point. Boundary adjustments still need to happen. Also, I think there is already a higher percentage of affordable housing required for new developments in some areas of the County such as at Tysons which is near Mclean and Vienna.[/quote]
