[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]

Well, we'll see what the school board thinks.  I suspect that the SB might commit to walkability for North Arlington, but let is fall by the wayside for South Arlington.  That's the double standard I worry about.  I concede that the insults on DCUM are likely to be hurled at parents north or south of Route 50.  And, for what it's worth, there is some truth to the insults (north or south).  There are parents in this county who truly value walkability per se.  And others who use it as a shield against diversity.  Everyone claims the former, so it's not always easy to distinguish between them.  [/quote]
