I doubt it's legal to just redirect bond money that was voted on 2+ years ago. And spare me the it's only fair argument. One looks at the civic assns webpage tells you what the basis of the  neighborhoods support: increasing property values and avoiding Wakefield. Period. [/quote]

I live in that neighborhood and honestly don’t know why you say that. We are worried  about our property values going DOWN, which they certainly would if we are rezoned to a crap warehouse school with zero fields or other amenities . If I had a problem with Wakefield, I would not have bought the house in the first place. This neighborhood has always been zoned Wakefield.  [/quote]

i say it because the headline at the top of your civic assn webpage reads, "Neighbors: The Career Center redevelopment project may affect your PROPERTY VALUES and where YOUR CHILDREN attend high school." emphasis/caps aren't mine.[/quote]

Right, and then it says we have to advocate for EQUAL amenities.  Because otherwise, we'll just get screwed again by APS and Arlington Co.  If you lived in South Arlington, you'd understand.  [/quote]

I do. South of the pike.[/quote]

And likely west of George Mason. Of course you don’t want this school. Tough sh:t[/quote]

Yup. Let's neither pretend we're not looking out for number 1.[/quote]

This is neighborhood PP again. The previous statement was not from me.  I support boundary lines that would balance the economic  diversity between Wakefield and the career center.  I’ve heard people oppose a new South Arlington HS because they are worried about Wakefield’s numbers. It seems to me though, that the richest parts of South Arlington would still be zoned to Wakefield (e.g. Arlington Ridge, Virginia highlands, Aurora highlands, etc).  So I’m not sure I understand this resistance.[/quote]
