[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is just a perennial thing. You can’t fight the developers and the affordable housing advocates in Arlington.  They are the ones who perpetuate the segregation. [b]They live in N Arlington. [/b]But it is just that small subset of people (I can name names) who are profiting from this who are really to blame. And the S Arlington county board members who get contributions from them. Don’t blame the generic N Arlington population. It’s far more insidious than rich wanting to stay away from the poor. It’s rich making money off segregation through affordable housing.  Plain and simple. [/quote]

Although there are also hard-core AH living in south Arlington.  The difference is, they've opted their kids out of their 60%+ FRL neighborhood school.  This is even more ideal because they escape the NIMBY accusation by living in SA and in such "diverse" neighborhoods AND they can genuinely deny the impact on education in the high FRL school because they haven't experienced it.[/quote]
