[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big meeting is this Saturday.
This is the last chance to heard before they vote of the new AH master plan.

The whole thing is really maddening. I can't believe they are so content with the status quo - the expectations for quality of life and education in south Arlington... It's unbelievable.
It's like - oh well... We've made a place for a bunch of poor kids. Our job is done! [/quote]

I would take is as a sign to move to the north or somewhere else.[/quote]

Don't you think we would have bought north of 50 if we could have? I know there is some really bitter feelings about people buying nice new construction in the south side at a ( slight )discount...
However it's mainly younger families who have  bought, small, older homes, in a price range ( probably a stretch for them) just under what would get them further north. South Arlington is the last place you can maybe find a starter home. Although, those days are really numbered. My friends and colleagues are priced out of south Arlington now as well.
There is a big difference between 550 and 750 in this county when it comes to location. 
Doesn't excuse the bullshit the county board is trying to pull. 
Pushing schools to 80% poverty rates? That's crazy. And if I lived north I'd be annoyed also. If property taxes dip around the pike- who do you think is picking up the slack? All the odd zip codes. They are addicted to the revenue. Once they've made s. Arl an unfriendly place to younger middle class families due to poorly rated schools - they'll just bleed you guys dry.
Whatever - there is always private school. Bright side is if my house value declines it will free up some money toward that.

Yeah, because there's clearly nothing else on the planet but North Arlington and South Arlington. Cry me a boulevard.[/quote]

With a shitty commute. Fuck off.[/quote]
Right back at you.  Boo boo, what a whiny bunch of self-entitled jerks.  [/quote]

Don't you have some thread about Ashburn to return to?[/quote]
