[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not 50 percent less in south arlington. at most 30 less. The nice sFh areas are getting pricey and people want decent schools to match. Barcroft is extremely poor planning and the county should make that right.

The county wants to keep the low income housing in western pike. It is easy, minimal neighborhood fuss because the neighborhood is already largely low income. The sFh areas are conflicted because those are the neighbors and it doesn't feel good to trash talk their kids and needs like that. But, the schools are a mess and property values are tanking. In other parts of south arlington the property values are increasing, it is only the western pike area that is suffering and the county is just fine with that. [/quote]

I'm sorry, but I live in a neighborhood zoned for Barcroft Elementary and you are full of s*** because our assessment just came in a good percentage higher than it was last year.  I was talking with some neighbors and theirs did, too.

My husband and I support affordable housing that is done right.  I'm talking about communities built by APAH and AHC.  They have the support systems in place to assist their residents both young and old because they team up with partners like Greenbrier Learning Center, The Reading Connection, Doorways for Women and Families, La Cocina Virginia, etc.  It's the "market rate" affordable housing that I have a problem with.  There are lots of problems in those communities and no support for residents.

My kids currently attend one of the Title 1 S. Arl. elementary schools and the kids who live in APAH and AHC communities do far better (for the most part) than those who do not.
