[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are an absolute joke. You cry cry cry about everything for every body on the government's dime (taxpayers' back). You encourage undocumented immigrants to come and actually reward them with services available to them no questions asked. You get exactly what that causes- overcrowding in schools and poverty confined to ghettoized apartments, which brings down the socioeconomics in that area. Then you're mad. Think long and hard about where you stand and then project that instead of a fake agenda, which you don't really want. Stop being NIMBY! If you don't want overcrowded schools and concentrated poverty than stop voting for policies that cause that very thing. Maybe now that your child's education is on the chopping block and it is in your backyard you'll back away from being a hypocrite. It's about time![/quote]

I think you two are missing the point, which is that decisions affecting the south alone are being made by the richer and more populous north. [/quote]

No your missing the point. That is exactly what the poster is saying.

At the fed and state level, you need to stop voting for liberals who support such policies.

On the local level, if you live in south arl and you keep voting for all those people running for offices in the north arl, then you get the result the poster explained.  If you want to change, then you need to start nominating and voting for those who are not liberal.

I'm a S Arl resident who voted for Vihstadt. The county thought I was voting against the streetcar when what I actually wanted is more accountability around the project. What I learned is that voting is a shitty instrument for expressing oneself. Hence OP's OP about community involvement.

As for "such policies" do any parties support the concentration of poverty these days?  [/quote]

Vihstadt is a huge disappointment if that's what you thought. You basically voted against the street car and for affordable housing. He is in the record as saying that all of the concentrated affordable housing in the western end of the PiKe is something, " we will all have to come to grips with"
Seriously- that's what he said.

All of the democratic candidates vying for one of the two spots  on the board have come out loud and strong for their support for affordable housing. All of them. 
I think there is one indepdent with his hat in the ring, but if he's anything like Vihstadt all your going to get is no money for infrastructure and more people crammed in, and vying for resources.

So tell me again how we've been voting against our best intestate. No one running is looking out for them. No one.[/quote]
