[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's " people" I think there is one or two persons who troll these boards. If I had to guess, they are just being contrary for the sake of it. Most upper middle class homeowners that live in North Arlington seem to have no real thoughts about south Arlington, or if they do, would most likely enjoy more revenue from higher property taxes elsewhere in the county. 
If you've spent any amount of time in the southern part of the county, especially around Shirlington and Penrose, the changes are undeniable. [/quote]

Yeah, I hope this is the case. I was getting frustrated at that post about the 1.1 million dollar house in S. Arlington. People seem very intent that it is not changing and never will. Yet I actually live in S. Arlington (and live near Shirlington) and have seen house after house in my neighborhood snatched up by upper class families or builders with new builds at triple the price of the original house. Things are changing, I don't know why folks want to dispute that. But I have said on here before, apparently if the area isn't 100% white and 100% rich it isn't worth living in. [/quote]

Perhaps the more nuanced view is that it is changing, but perhaps not as fast as some people here are suggesting, and that people who can't find what they're looking for in North Arlington have other places to look besides, or in addition to ,South Arlington.  [/quote]
