[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.

Yeah, well you are in a minority in Arlington, even Vihstadt supports it.   The people of Arlington do not want a County which has no more poor people.  They want some SES diversity.  Given the loss of market rate AH, that means some committed AH.

[b]And if they want that spread more evenly among different schools, while at the same time wanting compact, walkable school zones, that means spreading the AH around.  That's just math[/b]. [/quote]

Just math tells me that that isn’t going to happen. Even if it were, it is certainly nowhere on the horizon. AH advocates need to slow their roll.[/quote]
