[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about we start by restoring the community centers to their original purpose? There are plenty of private gyms, and [b]I don’t think providing entertainment to a handful of seniors counts as a “core government service.”[/b][/quote]

I do, you ageist piece of shit.[/quote]

I'm not PP, but the seniors aren't exactly endearing themselves to parents whose kids are stuffed into schoool like sardines because we sold off all the schools they attended as kids. I understand that there are some community centers that are underutilized. Perhaps those deserve a look for joint use facilities if not just being sold back to APS. We can't just not build schools for K-12 ever again. Even if they make things more efficient, there will still be an overall deficit of seats. And people of child-bearing years keep moving to Arlington rather than leaving. What now? [/quote]

Regardless of what you think of current seniors, some of us with elementary-aged children don't anticipate moving out of Arlington when our kids graduate. We'd like there to be some senior programming available for us when we retire too.[/quote]

There are tons of commercial high rises that can be leased for flexible senior space for art classes, exercise, and whatever else seniors are using the 244 for. Providing for a senior adult is way easier to use flexible space collocated with commercial offices than kids, who need field space, secure facilities, and would drive insurance risk for commercial buildings.
