[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem got created by Arlington Democrats and their single minded obsession with building as much affordable housing as possible, regardless of impact.  That's why they are clustered where costs are cheapest, regardless of the impact on the neighborhood, schools, services, etc[/quote]

And it seems no one wants their kids bussed to a further away school to either create diversity at that school or to join a more diverse neighborhood school. For option schools, some families are willing to go further. But when no one wants to go further for a neighborhood school, we are stuck with the demographics surrounding the school.

And the CB adds insult to injury by not working hand in hand with the AB on staff many other issues — funding, land. [/quote]

Yet somehow in this case the wealthy families closest to Drew have managed to punt the boundary to families farther away. Hmmmm. Proximity matters, except when it doesn't.

And lastly, agree completely that the BS about there not being enough AH is just hat, BS. There isn't any N of Lee Hwy, and not enough in other parts of North Arlington. But there's too much in South Arlington. Not a single additional unit is "needed" here. [/quote]

Can’t wait until Katie Cristol has kids. Make sure to live in her S Arlington planning unit. Or maybe she will move to the Discovery zone and live next door to Ms Natrrass. [/quote]

IIRC, she lives in Columbia Heights, aka, the Henry PUs that are closer to Drew than Henry, but can't possibly be moved for some reason while they have to gerrymander a crazy noncontiguous boundary to the other side of 4 Mile Run. My goodness, those Henry parents look horrible on AEM. [/quote]

She lives in the Randolph zone.  She is a reading buddy there.[/quote]
