[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alexandrian who can literally see the arena site from my TV room, who loves the Target, and who fully supports the arena in PY.  It is a great deal for the City. [/quote]

Reported. The arena site and Target were washed away by the recent torrential rains.[/quote]

I heard the anti-arena Del Ray wine moms were searching the flood waters for Valentine’s Day Stanley cups.

On a serious note, how do these Alexandrians think affordable housing and failing schools are actually paid for?  Do people in Del Ray really want to pay $25k a year in taxes for a duplex that floods?   To me the arena seems like a great way to get taxpayers across the Commonwealth to cover many of the arena’s costs, when Alexandria will see a disproportionate amount of the revenue. If it’s not an arena it will just be more high rise affordable housing units that bring 800 kids into schools, make demands on public safety, and overflow the crumbling roads.

The Arena definitely seems like the good option. [/quote]

You sound like a peach, on your high horse, afraid of "lower income" people, and thinking your are wealthy/well off. But let's be frank here, if you were actually well off you probably would not be living in the Potomac Yard area...

The move is a terrible idea, it most likely won't have a strong enough economic effect to offset the cost to the taxpayer, and will create tons of traffic for people who live in that area.

Not afraid. Arlandria is not nice.  And there is crime. And drugs. [/quote]
