[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between school and housing policies Alexandria is looking to take the fast path to becoming the next Baltimore. [/quote] Actually it is the next Arlington. Arlington has 60% rental housing and is fast tracking to 70 to 80% rentals. Schools are losing enrollment naturally as the birth rate declines except for the high need populations who will crowd into all the rental housing available. People who want to live in Arlington for proximity to the city can afford to stay and send their kids to the expanding private and Catholic schools. Others can move to areas with better schools. When the schools go in Arlington, there is little else attractive. And the schools are going downhill fast.[/quote]
