[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are not having as many children, nationwide, in general.[/quote]

It depends.  Recent projection was that within ~10 years over 40% of HS grads in the U.S. will have Hispanic background.   However all children born in the Americas will be outnumbered 10:1 by the children born in India and China.  Locally there will not be any low enrollment numbers, as long as Arlington builds more and more condos and apartments.  Doesn’t matter whom they’re geared to, there are many single parents with kids moving in, especially if they’re subsidized.[/quote]

A lot of people who live in single family homes think no one with a family would live in an apartment, but we know many, many families that do. And they are market rate apartments. These are people that could buy a single family further out, but choose to live in Arlington in an apartment.[/quote]

Yes, absolutely, it’s the County Board and staff that are subsidizing builders to add thousands of units.  Just today another two high rises were announced. I’m aware of at least 6 projects announced over the last few months.  It’s always funny when they say; only 20 units intended for families or something like that - that is just not reality, and they are doing NOTHING to enforce only seniors moving in there or the like.  The county does not have school space for even a few 100 additional families let alone several thousand over next years.  There is no infrastructure for these units coming online.  None.  Irresponsible. [/quote]
