[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it when people talk about living in north Arlington for Many years...
Yes. You’ve enjoyed that fruits of enteral racism, red lining, and suppression for many years. 
I know you pine for the good old days.[/quote]

It really is sad isn't it? Someone in SA suggests that a school that is no more than 40 percent poor might not be such a bad idea - for anyone, especially poor kids --and gets attacked by some pearl clutching 1 percenter who cries "social engineering". As if social engineering that you describe isnt what got us where we are today. The anger and the fear, the entitlement. That's what the common good is up against. [/quote]

So run for SB on that platform or StFU.[/quote]

Someone did and they couldn’t make it past the democratic caucus.[/quote]

The Arlington county Dem establishment is a big part of the problem. Major groupthink on affordable housing and big showy projects. There’s an appetite for some independent candidates that aren’t Audrey Clement, John vihstadt showed that.[/quote]

So basically nobody really cares how high the F&RL and ELL populations are at your school.  [/quote]

Yep.  Just that they don't increase at any north arlington schools.
ACDC really needs to at least step out of the SB races.[/quote]

What might change things is older people dying, and or moving away. Most people who paid a premium to live anywhere in Arlington don’t agree with the current agenda. Even younger homeowners  in North Arlington.
We are still talking another 2 decades. 
My kid will have graduated from an elite private school by then. I don’t have time to waste on south arl APS. I’m glad the ELL and farm’s kids are getting what they need. My kid isn’t served by that. Other arrangements have been made.[/quote]

[b]Don't blame you. This is the Alexandria-zation of South Arlington. Property values are becoming unmoored from school quality (real or perceived) here. I've seen a good half dozen houses in Douglas Park go for over 800k this year. Those families aren't sending their kids to Randolph. This is a not surprising outcome, because the CB policies are designed to benefit the 1% and the destitute. In between? Sorry. Make other arrangements.[/b][/quote]

It's a contagion! Don't let it be. Arlington County controls that.[/quote]
