[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a group of S Arlington parents tried to raise this issue about 7-8 years ago they were shouted down by affordable housing advocates, school board members and S Arlington residents. Not N Arlington families.  [/quote]

They weren't just shouted down.  They were called racist NIMBYs.[/quote]

The only SB member who has really tried to make headway on this issue is RG. And he was not treated kindly by the chair at the time. People like to vaguely blame N. Arlington, but the entities listed above really do the work of maintaining the status quo.[/quote]

This x100 plus the comment about how it’s further fueled by SA parents who send their kids to option schools while acting holier than thou for living in the “south.”  Some of them simultaneously profit from the affordable housing industry while they cripple the neighborhood schools. It’s gross. They are in cahoots with big money up north and well meaning but misplaced and confused S. Arl activists. Get out while you can. [/quote]
