[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not happening. If anything, Amazon has scared the lobby and the board into thinking that SA will gentrify. Believe me - the AH developers will get a SIGNIFICANT chunk of Amazon money coming to the county. SIGNIFICANT. [/quote]

Well at some point south Arlington homeowners will have to speak up. They don’t, so this is what they get.[/quote]

As some of the responses in this chain demonstrate, SA homeowners HAVE spoken up - many times, for many years.  The problem is, OTHER SA homeowners speak up in support of MORE AF in the same concentrated AH neighborhoods and their voices have more weight.  The County's mantra is quantity over quality; quantity over location; quantity over diverse neighborhoods; quantity over diverse schools; quantity over all else - because we love and value diversity.

And the poster who said the AH groups and developers will get a huge portion of Amazon money is absolutely right.  The CB has already said so.  With all that additional money, they should be able to afford to develop projects in north arlington beyond rosslyn and buckingham.  That's their argument:  north arlington is too expensive and you can get more units (quantity) in south arlington.  The CB needs to get 3 backbones on it for a change and make the zoning and policy changes needed to guarantee Lee highway development similar to Columbia Pike - do unto them as they do unto the SA homeowners who have fought for geographic distribution:  dismiss their objections and do it anyway.  Hell will freeze multiple times over first.[/quote]
