[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason some APS schools have over 50% FARMS rates is because we are massively subsidizing people who don't even have ties to our community.  We are literally bringing them in to live in Arlington, and spending high six figures to do so.

Meanwhile the county doesn't spend a dime keeping actual middle class in Arlington, regardless of how long they have lived here.  Actually, it is worse than that. The county actively undermines middle class welfare in the county by concentrating poverty in what should be solidly blue collar, middle class areas

This is completely false.  [b]We are not 'bringing in poor people to live in Arlington.' [/b] I get so so sick of this narrative being reported over and over.  Also- one of the affordable housing goals is distribution.  Stop villifying affordable housing- its not the problem.[/quote]

You are either grossly misinformed or under the thrall of Gutshall, de Ferranti and the rest of the AH pimps on the Board. It's a racket, plain and simple. Developers getting rich off building a ghetto. [/quote]
