"Mi Voz Cuenta is advocating for affordable housing in the neighborhoods near Columbia Pike, adding that the mixed-income neighborhoods have attracted diversity, and with it vibrancy, to the area, the group said. The group is also open to affordable housing throughout the county, said group spokeswoman Jessica Sarriot."

"We want to make sure that you also know that many residents of Barcroft, Alcova Heights, and the rest of the Columbia Pike corridor remain dedicated to the idea of expanding affordable housing in our area,” the group said. “What our families really need is stable housing, housing where rents do not get raised exponentially year after year.”

Looks like Yorktown high school is untouched, WL and Wakefield are the main receivers[/quote]

Sounds like you would want to buy in Yorktown, the other two zones seem to be in for some turbulent waters in the future and beyong.[/quote]

Looks more like south Arlington parents will be getting some new north Arlington people joining card in a few years....[/quote]

Thanks PP who posted the map!   I'm a bit frustrated that the map does not have a breakdown of current housing numbers of the Pike and "other" though, I think that would be giving a more complete picture.  
Is this map what this group wants, or is this what the board has on the table as a plan?  If the latter, I would be very concerned no matter where you are in Arlington,  unless I lived in the super far north (Jamestown).

Especially interesting that our S. Arlington neighborhood will receive less housing than several neighborhoods north of us...
Nonetheless it is total madness, and I'm very upset, they are using our tax money for this!   The numbers are HUGE.   WHAT IS THE BOARD THINKING?  
They are struggling as it is with the student numbers!   
That's the reason I can't be all that happy about CARD either - they just want redistribution - sorry, I don't want any of it!!!  The county is digging its own grave here.  Where is their future revenue supposed to come from?  Grandfather in the current renters and let the market take over.   You could  add vouchers for county service employees and seniors.  Sorry, if that is not politically correct.
Looks like really bad news for both metro corridors.
