They want a poverty corner so they can minimize the number of schools dealing with poverty and let wealthier parents have the rest. Those remaining UMC families in Barcroft will further abandon the school. And the SB is fine with that.[/quote]

As mentioned in another thread, these FARMS families are living in subsidized housing the county spent upwards of 500k apiece for, are recipients of tens of thousands of dollars a year worth of wrap around government services, and most were not even Arlington residents or even workers before moving in.

Meanwhile, middle class Arlington residents are being forced out because of rising rents or lack of affordability.

And your proposed solution has us subsidizing these families even more?  All told each of these families can end up consuming $1 million + in county services during the time they live in Arlington.  Honestly, how much more money do you think we should be providing to non-Arlington residents to come and live here?[/quote]

Affordable Housing truly is “if you build it, they will come.” Most people in Arlington AH don’t even work in Arlington. Let’s slow down building AH.[/quote]
