[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah this seems nuts to me, too.  But is it, really?  I don't think you can really tie one to the other.  Like, if you lose your Arlington job you have to move?  Cause that seems nuts, too.  And we don't think it's crazy for people in SFHs not to work in Arlington.  If the people in affordable housing are going to work in DC, that makes total sense to me and I'm down with that.  [b]Everyone has the right to a shorter commute and high(er) quality schools. [/b] For me, the sticker is if they're working even further outside in Fairfax, because hey, just live in Fairfax.[/quote]

Wait, what!?  So, I live in south Arlington but I work in Tysons.  My commute would be a lot shorter if someone would subsidize a $1.5M home for me in McLean. Isn't it my right?

This is what's wrong with the affordable housing argument.  There is no [i]right[/i] to live in a particular neighborhood or locale.  I turned down in a job in Bethesda because the commute would have been soul sucking.  Should I instead have looked for my handout to live in Chevy Chase?

Off topic, and better for the political forum.[/quote]
