[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know that the number of designated affordable housing units in N/S is about equal.  But, citizens do not allow and the county do not build large low income housing buildings (versus set aside units in new buildings) in the north.  Only in the south. That coupled with the concentration of market rate yet cheap housing around the western end of the Pike is the problem both for economic development in that area and more importantly for the schools.  However you categorize it - market rate, affordable, what ever, does not matter anymore for the western Pike.  It is a very poor area and many of the commercial establishments nearby prey on those very people. The schools that serve that area do not have the seats for the kids and they are underperforming - and they are title I schools. So, South Arlington should not be scattering the affordable units across new developments in the county, not concentrating them into pockets of poverty.

What about the new development in Ballston across from the Exxon gas station.  That is committed affordable.[/quote]

One building. Wee!
