[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 12:48 and I absolutely agree with you on 2, 3, and 4.

#1 is a County Board issue.  The travesty of a pool that we can't afford anymore is being built with county money.  Until you have a county board that is willing to invest more in schools, won't happen. FWIW, even if the CB did provide more money, I do strongly disagree with you, and personally value walkability very highly.

#5 to me is a problem because regional clusters still protect the richest and whitest faux liberals.  22207 keeps their nice little enclaves. This is what many of us in the more central parts of Arlington pushed back against in the last round.  If you're going to bus, then bus everyone.  Jamestown, Discovery, Nottingham, they don't get to protect their pocket and say "but it's regional so it's fair".  BS.

I suggested these things but I'm sure unforeseen developments will make some of them as useful as the screen display at the million dollar bus stop. For example, the school bus itself already seems like something from another era. There were something like 35 small elementary schools here in the 50s. Everyone must have walked. I know there are many reasons why elementary kids today need to go to school with 700 other kids in fewer larger buildings, but certainly it's not for their benefit. I can imagine something different in my lifetime. [/quote]
