Housing policy?  What do you want?  Fairfax County to build an affordable housing complex on Mclean Central Park?  That's pubic land.  Forgo federal subsidies for tenants and use all local money plus open it up to no tenant has to be legally present?  The Amazon issue for South Arlington was loss of available private NOT public affordable housing.  [/quote]

I think PP was just pointing out that much of the de facto segregation results from housing policy, including current zoning.

Which it does, and which the School Board can't really address on its own without massively inconveniencing people whose kids might have to travel much further to schools to achieve social integration goals.

Easier to do what the county is currently doing, which is requiring some more affordable housing to be included when new developments are built in areas like Tysons (which feed into schools in McLean, Falls Church, and Vienna). [/quote]
