[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posters here could live on Mars. The end result is the same. Liberals are mad they're getting what they asked for. Instead of having sour grapes now, you should probably think through exactly what you say you stand for.[/quote]

I think there have been some very informed and reasoned arguments on this thread. There's been some crazies ^^^ but I think for the most part people here see the problems and are looking a for a solution. Crazy pants conservative poster can't honestly be blaming the problems of south Arlington on Millenials, surely? Most of us have been here way less that 10 years. We haven't had the time to impact much. I haven't seen much bleeding heart liberalism from that group. Most seem pretty pragmatic without being completely heartless. Not so myopic that we can't see the end result of current policy, but not so ideologically bone headed that we would throw out any sort of social safety net.[/quote]Oh, the I wan't my cake and it it too type. You guys are losers too! You're not reinventing the wheel, Mr. Millenial. You're just getting crushed by it! It's about time. Just love it when you cerebral rational fill-in-the-blank NIMBYs get egg in your face. While you're busy balancing being "heartless" with being "sound", etc... your school are getting jam-packed. It'll take a few generations perhaps, but eventually basic common sense will persevere. You can't absorb more and more human bodies without the resources to fully fund them. At some point you have to acknowledge this isn't working and the resources are there. The human bodies in need are going to have to stop consuming without compensating for that and start producing. When you don't have that feedback mechanism, you start to stress the infrastructure. That's what we have here. What we also have here is the experience in socialism that you said you wanted. How you like it now, mutha![/quote]

You do understand that is the argument being made right? Our specific area can't absorb all of the affordable housing the county has planned. That is in a nutshell what we are saying. 
Did you perhaps attend an overcrowded school?  Because if you did you are illustrating our point beautifully about how detrimental it can be to child's education, and how lasting those effects are.[/quote]You're so dense it's getting beyond ridiculous. Once affordable housing is spread out, as you think it needs to be, it's going to crush those areas as well. The population growth at its current rate simply cannot be sustained on the current coffers. If N. Arlington was opened up to the disadvantaged, it wouldn't be long before the education system up there suffered as well. It's your short-sightedness that has created this problem. And now your children stand to lose. I just feel sorry for your kids. They'll likely be as uninformed and as ideological as you, accept they won't likely have the luxury. The chickens will have come home to roost by then. Your children will be dealing with economic disaster that resulted from your unsustainable policies. Not my kids though!!![/quote]

Get a grip! We aren't talking about saddling n arl schools with 40% + FARMs rates. Take a look at very desirable schools in Fairfax. I'm talking  8+ great schools ratings. They have approx 10-15 % Farms rates. That's not going to impact a school. The precious snowflakes of north Arlington can easily absorb a small percentage. 
And guess what- it's often north arlington limousine liberals ( boomers and older gen xer's ) that have created these policies. Not the middle class south Arlington Millenials who are trying to dig us out of this.[/quote]it sounds like you're suggesting that poor children up and move because they're not convenient for you. Disgusting! You move! We need to stop scapegoating poor families here. They need our commitment and humanity towards their basic needs- the same way you would expect for your family and your self. I'm disgusted reading this thread![/quote]

I'm beginning to think this is all the same poster. " crazy pants conservation"   " knee jerk liberal"
I think someone is having a fun little creative trolling exercise on this thread....
