[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did the shift from capitalism to socialism happen? It's not just Arlington. [/quote]

We're not talking about socialism. 
Educating our children is part of the social contract. Making sure they grow up in stable homes with food on the table is better for everyone. 
But the streetcar got cancelled and all of the promised gentrification went down the tubes with it.
People are starting to look at this Pike neighborhood plan, and ask some important questions. Those neighborhood schools aren't doing so great. What happens if you add more poverty to them? They were supposedly going to be propped up by more middle class density. That hasn't materialized.
How are people living in these areas supposed to be well served if businesses won't invest in the area, because it's super poor?

North Arlington parents aren't divorced from this problem. They helped these policies along. It's time for them to pitch in. Time for them to be part of the solution.
