Right, I know.  What I meant, but didn't write out, is that it seems like the most valuable input will come from people who live near the parcel.  Because the parcel is in south Arlington, that's probably not going to include very many people on MONA.[/quote]

Imagine, if you can, a world in which the long-term needs of Arlington County and APS are considered as whole, not piecemeal, with available resources presented at the same time so all groups (parents, the elderly, the young and sporty, the low income, and all the other members of the community, complete with competing AND overlapping needs) could see what the tradeoffs for various decisions are. If you build a high-rise school here, it leaves the park here untouched. If you put a middle-school here, where do you put the senior center? The high school? The art center?

If people had to think about everything at once, maybe you wouldn't have a situation in which people shout down a solution because they don't want (or do want) something to happen in their neighborhood. Something is going to happen in every neighborhood. What does the most good for the largest number at the best cost?[/quote]
