[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ CARD is smart. They are fighting the fight they can win. [b]There is currently no traction with the " no new affordable housing" argument. Zero.
How can you tell?
No one running for board will say it. If it could get you elected - someone would be saying it.[/b]
CARD has found a progressive argument that should have been made a long time ago.
Asking the questions about schools makes sense- it's also asking what the real costs are.
The board and developers haven't been willing to go there. The answers would likely put a stop to much of this proposed development. AHC is non profit, but people are making money off of all of these deals on Columbia Pike. [/quote]

I think that it totally COULD get elected, if the costs and the impact had been widely publicized!!!
I don't think any TAXPAYING Arlingtonians want their money spent this way!!!
...maybe if we weren't dealing with being two steps behind overcrowding of the schools, maybe if none of the schools were struggling with test scores, poverty, and ESL ALREADY, MAYBE IF WE WERENT CONSTANTLY TOLD THAT TAXES HAVE TO BE RAISED OR SOME OF THE APS PROGRAMS HAVE TO BE SHUT DOWN....  But in the current state of affairs - really how dare they shove this down the throats of the taxpayer?

I think the reason is rather that a few people are making huge amounts of money off of this plan.  It is certainly not Altruism.[/quote]
