Actually the Washington Post published the stats a year or so ago and the reason is that 60% of all Alexandrians are poor.

It is a myth that Alexandria City is full of wealthy people. It is full of some <b>very</b> wealthy people, a lot of upper middle class people who are tapped out paying high mortgages, a sprinkling of middle class people living in condos, a large amount of poor people living in public housing, Section 8, or too many people living in an older, lower cost market rate apartment.

Your tax dollars are going to supporting those poor people in the form of guaranteed public housing, Section 8 housing, food, clothing, hair cuts, tutoring, after school care, summer camp, school programs, rec and park programs,  etc and so on.  You haven't ever noticed the immense amount of free stuff that the city provides residents?

Fixed that. DH and I often ponder what the schools would be like if all of our VERY wealthy Seminary Hill neighbors sent their children to our local publics instead of the many expensive privates in Alexandria and elsewhere.[/quote]
