[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, it really seems like Arlington has a divide between the mega-rich and the poor.  The middle class is being pushed out.[/quote]

I've heard it referred to as the " dumbell" effect. Build up the very wealthy on the one side - try to level it out by helping the poorest of the community - hollowing out the middle.[/quote]What a load of bull. I love it how liberals are never responsible for their actions that eff everything up. Now there's a boogie man who's "hollowing out the middle". Um no. Naive and uneducated Arlingtonians created an environment where non-contributors (large immigrant communities in need of services, but not providing anything themselves) could find safe haven (ie. schools and housing). Said people did exactly what they were given license to- they found shelter in S. Arlington by the people who invited them- Arlington middle class democrats. Now, schools are oversubscribed and scores are falling for higher SES kids. Sounds like libs screwed up again. No, there's no "they" hallowing out the middle class unless you're talking about the middle class doing it to themselves. I'm just glad I predicted this nonsense would happen and moved up-county. There's not help for diehard liberals. You have to wait for their unsustainable policies to fail, for them to endure injury (ie. their own families are affected) and then change happens. [/quote]
