[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years ago this conflict didnt exist. As the area got wealthier some umc moved to SA to save a few bucks knowing that the achools suck.Those are the people causing these issues and stirring up people. No one feels guilty in NA and its not our fault that you made the decision that you did. Dont try to get schools equivalent to those in NA housing price point. You get what you pay for. [/quote]

It's a public education, so we pay the same and are supposed to get the same. You're hoarding resources by resisting boundary changes. It is your fault. Not everyone can afford to live in north Arlington and there aren't enough houses anyway. [/quote]

Shame on you for choosing poorly while paying the "same".[/quote]

I shoulda chosen to be rich, you're right[/quote]

You are rich.  You paid the "same".[/quote]

Dp- catch 22. They get the “good” north arlignton schools, but they also get people
Like you for neighbors. It’s hard to know if the it’s worth the sacrifice, ya know?[/quote]

I would rather be neighbors with the NA person than the person who thinks they deserve a Lexus when all they can afford is a Civic.  You get what you pay for SA. [/quote]

No one is asking for "a Lexus". I don't want my kid to go to a school where 95% of the student body is white, Asian or both. All I want is a school that is say, 20-40% disadvantaged. That's not even a Civic. It's a like a 1998 Saturn. That's too much to ask in Arlington County? I don't want a thing from NA except to stop electing childless boomers who don't care about anything except parting each other's backs for building more and more affordable housing[/quote]

What the hell are you talking about?  For years now (oldest in early elementary school), our family has been watching in horror as the SB and CB make really stupid decisions at the expense of all APS students.  We voted in the last CB election to see the same old Democrats who support affordable housing over the other candidate who listed schools first (came in dead last by the say).  Most of Arlington voters have no kids, and it's the elderly population who already got theirs who continue to support everything else but more land for schools in Arlington.[/quote]
