[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm not sure why it's okay for parents in North Arlington to value walkability, but it's suspect if parents in South Arlington feel the same way.[/quote] According to some who have posted on various threads, walkability is all a crock of sh!t on multiple levels. Desire for walkability apparently = racism. This is an insult usually reserved for n Arlington residents; not sure where you got the idea that the people who find it suspect for SA find it acceptable for NA.[/quote] Of course there are good reasons for valuing "walkability" that are not "racist". But good intentions about the benefits and convenience of walking to school do not change the fact that allowing or encouraging school attendance zones to be determined primarily by walkability will often lead to schools are as racially and economically segregated as the neighborhoods they're located in. And Arlington is segregated, no doubt. [/quote]
