[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maureen Coffey. She is so inspiring and will bring needed diversity to the board.[/quote]

Diversity? How so?[/quote]

We need a renter on the board! Diversity is good. Also a young person who understands the issues we face.[/quote]

With all due respect, Coffey is renting in Clarendon - not the same as 3-4 post college adults sharing a group house in Ballston or an immigrant family of 5+ sharing a small garden apartment off FMR. The issues in Clarendon are typically with rent increases not things like rodent infestations that have families sleeping in one room so the parents can keep the mice off their sleeping kids. But sure, keep trying to sell that I'm "just like you" narrative. [/quote]

I live in Clarendon. Rent increases are a problem. Supporting Maureen all the way.[/quote]

Again, if you live in Clarendon (the most expensive neighborhood) and complain about rent increases, you don't have much to complain about. There are SO many more pressing issues in Arlington County right now that need to be addressed like [b]increasing crime rates[/b] which are truly concerning.[/quote]
Lies. Crime isn't increasing.[/quote]

Not a lie - you are just misinformed and have no frame of reference yourself to determine whether crime has increased. There have been 17 carjackings in Arlington this year. Carjackings in this area have primarily been located in DC in the past. Arlington saw this crime spread to the Crystal City/Pentagon City area once Amazon came to town. It bears mentioning that DC crime is way up as well - you can view all the data here: [url]https://crimecards.dc.gov[/url]
