[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, what is unsettling is the level of entitlement for people who want to live in a place and will destroy communities and neighborhoods to do so. Equally unsettling is government officials using tax dollars to assist them.[/quote] We live in a lovely residential neighborhood with subsidized apartment buIldings a few blocks away from our house. It is a great place to live and the crime (e.g. occasional car break ins) is similar to crime in suburban Bethesda. The local elementary school is highly regarded by the community and by staff. The FARMS rate for the school is around 30%. I think that is a good level where the needs of the student body are manageable for the staff and it has economic, racial and ethnic diversity which I think is important for kids of all income levels. I don't know the exact history of the apartment buildings, but it would be preposterous and offensive to suggest they "destroyed the community" - our community is here and doing great and the apartments are part of our community.[/quote] The difference is they would do away with homes in an established beautiful neighborhood to build the “lovely apartments”. No, thank you.[/quote] If someone sells their home and the developer decides to build a small apt building I am cool with that.[/quote]
