[quote=Anonymous]As an Alexandria resident I find that apartheid comment pretty outrageous. The fact is, Alexandria provides assisted housing to many times more of its residents than Fairfax County does. In fact, it even provides more units. Shame on Fairfax County, which I am sure uses the money it does not spend on housing and the tax loss from its occupants' income on its wonderful schools and parks. You should be thanking the City of Alexandria for taking so much of Fairfax county's burden. I hope my daughter at TC learns all about how communities share (or don't) the burden of the poor and uneducated in her government class this year!

ARHA and Alexandria operate over 3000 public housing units http://alexandriava.gov/uploadedfiles/planning/info/Braddock%20East/Further%20Information/ARHA_Presentation.pdf

Fairfax County maintains only 1060:
"The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) operates 1,060 units of Public Housing. Public Housing units are managed and maintained by the Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The units were built or acquired using federal public housing funds. Units include townhouses, garden apartments and condominium units, and are located throughout the County."[/quote]
