This is not going to change going forward because the high density housing that feeds into FCHS will not go away (nor should it).

Really? I live near seven corners, and I would love nothing more than to see all the tenement-style dwellings in SC razed, and have something better built in their place.

I don't think the route 50 garden apartments are as bad as seven corners/bailey's crossroads, though. [/quote]

I go into a lot of these apts as part of my work.  The complexes just west of Graham Road on both sides of Rt. 50 are absolutely luxurious compared to Culmore.  Seven Corners is a mixed bag, some are really bad and some are OK.  Culmore though is uniformly awful.[/quote]

Same PP here.  To tie this back into the discussion of schools: The LL's in Culmore turn a blind eye to overcrowding to a much greater extent than perhaps anywhere else in Ffx Co.  This means that an equal number of units will hold a much greater number of kids.  So, this affects Stuart much more than Falls Church.

The "bad neighborhoods" feeding into Stuart are the Culmore apartments, which will never ever be good, not in a million years.  The "bad neighborhoods" feeding into Falls Church consist in large parts of junky SFH's, which are, little by little, being upgraded and gentrified.  So I see Falls Church slowly getting better while Stuart stagnates.[/quote]
