[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This argument about community centers is so peculiar. Take parks and playgrounds. Should APS take all those over and Arlington make one mega-county Park for the entire county? Parks, like community centers, are enjoyed by everyone. [/quote]

Does it really matter if you take your parks & rec yoga class 2 miles from your house vs. 4? Not really.

We don’t need to have a lot of little community centers when fewer, larger facilities would work just as well. The only reason we have a bunch today was because of declining school populations.

Does it matter if your kids go to school 2 miles form your house vs. 4?  Not really.

But given your stance, I assume that you would also support the county diverting available funding to expanding centralized community centers, and APS can delay all of its capital improvement projects in the meantime?  Sure you don’t mean we should knock down community centers and then make the people who use them have nothing for years until new/expanded ones are built.[/quote]

Drop off and pick up 5 days a week vs. maybe 1 class for an hour once a week - yes, proximity to schools is more important than proximity to community centers.

Again, it's a non-starter because we don't have the money, but it would be a much better use of County/APS land.

Driving two miles takes a few minutes, and at either of those distances, your kid can get a bus.

Also, some people exercise more than once a week.[/quote]

Sure, but proximity to schools is more important than proximity to community centers.

The majority of people in Arlington DGAF about proximity to schools. [/quote]
