Oh jeez. Malicious? Really? You find it malicious to have affordable housing above Lee highway? I think people would be very happy to live there. [/quote]

Yeah, because most of the people who are insisting on it are doing so because they see it as a burden around them. Basically, when the cry NIMBY, three fingers point back at themselves. Only they knew perfectly well what they were buying into in the first place.[/quote]

So tell me what is is you think a house in North Arlington bought you, other than a house in North Arlington? [/quote]

It bought me:

-- Larger lot than in much of Arlington. Bigger houses, too.
-- Relative quiet. There's less congestion up here past the WGCC
-- Schools with a history of high performance.
-- Privacy. There's not even a bus line on my street. It's bliss.
-- Great commute across the Chain Bridge.

I knew buying in that there wasn't a lot of high-density housing nor was there likely to be. This was plain.[/quote]

And if more growth is forecasted for Arlington, why do you have the right to push it all to the  southern portion of Arlington? Shouldn't everyone receive their fair share of growth?[/quote]
