[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over on the school boards (on DCUM) there is a lot of anger about density and its impact on schools in the south.  But the sentiment that seems to accompany many of those posts is that we should put all the AH in the north and should set out to deliberately raise FARMS rates in the N. Arlington schools.  So when I see the posters talk about how you need to bullet vote for Mcmenamin (sp?), I can't help wonder if as a resident of N. Arlington I should just stick with the dems because he's going to fulfill some sort of vindictive agenda advocated by the angry parents in the South to shift all the burdens S arlington always complains about to the north![/quote]

You need to be better informed.
He has said AH shouldn't be the first priority, and if we are going to do that- it should be in mixed income housing, not 100% poverty.
The master plan that was just voted on aspires to place 22% of the county's subsidized housing on Lee highway. 
It's going north. McMenamin would like to see it implemented better than what has happened in south Arlington.

No one in the south has said they want farm's rates higher in the north just because. They just don't want additional future housing dumped in their over burdened schools.[/quote]
