[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue is the continued push to segregate affordable housing and saturate certain parts of the county (Columbia Pike, Central Arlington, South Arlington) with nearly ALL the affordable housing units, and not to spread it evenly throughout the county.

This allows for pockets of extremely low SES, non-native-speakers who drive down school scores. [b]The fact that the county is adding tons more affordable housing when we have a school population crisis is INSANE. [/b][/quote]

Exactly to your point, the county/affordable housing lobby wants [b]even more [/b]affordable housing along the Pike. Here is an opportunity to get involved and (attempt) to do something about it. Below is from our neighborhood list serve, sent yesterday:

Kay Langenbeck [Vice President, Arlington Mill Civic Association] and I would like to invite you to a presentation from AHC and discussion with David Cristeal [Director of Arlington's Housing Division].  [b]AHC and Arlington County would like 90 more units of Affordable Housing to go into Arlington Mill.[/b]  We would like to hear from you.

We meet at Arlington Mill Community Center [TONIGHT, 17 May], in room 527.  Parking is free.  Our program for the evening: 
7:00-7:15 -- regular update from the police department on crime situation at Pike Plaza
7:15-7:30 AHC
7:30 -- David Cristeal
