[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like Alexandria City has a decent balance of mixed-income neighborhoods and low rates of violent crime[/quote] It doesn’t. The “mixed income” neighborhood left is Old Town and that’s only through public housing, which just updates the public housing, and only supported through high real estate costs for everyone else. The rest of the city is highly segmented if mixed at all. Household income also covers up the unnatural distribution of housing. The new higher income apartments are 1 bed/bath to offset the lottery of public and subsidized housing. If the dual income no kids, high income couple, want to form a family, they must leave. So while it looks “mixed” and “functional”, it is anything but. But put up large glass windows, black bricks, grey floors, and shiny appliances, most people can’t tel the difference.[/quote]
