[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real solution to this would be to have committed affordable housing in Fairlington.  Then they could have kept the neighborhood together (I agree it really is one neighborhood, and walkable throughout) and also have had SES diversity at Abingdon ES.  [/quote]

Actually the real solution is to stop building f'ing affordable housing.  We do not have the infrastructure to support continuing to increase the population, especially a population that often needs additional wrap-around services.  I have nothing against poor people, but I have lots against a County Board that doesn't give a crap about our students.

I don't support AH on the Pike.  I don't support it on Lee Highway.  It's like Green Eggs and Ham.  I do not like it anywhere.

Amen. I could not care less about affordable housing. You can’t afford to live in Arlington, tough. I’d feel differently if maybe our teachers or firefighters or police officers were living in affordable housing, but they’re not. So let it die.

Wow. Just wow. Let them eat cake I guess. [/quote]

Wait - so these folks are literally starving? As in, famine? Plenty of middle class families live in more affordable areas and put up with a longer commute. You're telling me with all the County's budget cuts - and way more to come - Arlington can afford to bring MORE people here, and have taxpayers foot the bill? It's ridiculous. [/quote]
