[quote=Anonymous]No decision to concentrate poverty in south arlington? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you visited Columbia pike? Two new developments are going up right now to add thousands of new family units, all of which will feed into one already over crowded title I school. When was the last time an entire complex of low income housing was built in north arlington? The requirement to add a few units in new development does not compare to entire complexes built next to already existing low income housing. Those are the kids filing up south arlington schools.

How is a streetcar going to develop south arlington? No business catering to higher income people is going to want to be in an area that is predominately low income housing. You won't get anything on the pike west of glebe. I have nothing against a street car, I think they are cute, but they cannot change the local clientele.

The problem isn't that it "falls neatly" in arlington with route 50 as the dividing line, the people that run this county want to keep it in the south, away from all the wealthier folks in the north.[/quote]
