[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While, it scratches a certain itch to imagine a much needed dose of reality shipped over to Jamestown, I'm in agreement that busing will not solve the problems the county is creating.
We need actual community planning. It boggles the mind that we can know what we do about functional, diverse neighborhoods, and then do almost exactly the opposite. [/quote]

I agree with this. Yet when it comes down to South Arlington, the county balks all the time. The street car is emblematic of the whole problem of this North/South divide. The North has a Metro, so why does it need a streetcar in the South? The North as high performing schools and less economically disadvantaged students, so why does the South need more or better resourced schools?

I posted before. I'm one of those young couples who just had a child and between the lack of daycare and preschool options, watching the school battle is disheartening. Arlington spends more per student than any other municipality in the US outside of New York city. You'd think we could have rational school planning.[/quote]
