[quote=Anonymous]We could have bought in North Arlington, but every house we looked at needed more than we could have dealt with at the time. We had lived in South Arlington before and were coming back from living overseas. We just wanted to go home, so we bought there.

I really like my neighborhood and it's only gotten better in terms of social things. We checked out the school ratings on VA DoE and the school we were zoned to was all right. Not great, but all right, with an upward trajectory over the previous 5 years. Then the principal changed and a new group of students with high needs came in. I refer to Barcroft and Arlington Mill. I think the school will get better again.

What the county needs to do, like so many people have said, is to build AH with a plan that's better than "cram it on the Pike, because there were poor people there before." Mixed income would be much better in terms of lifting people up, but I know that the resources would not all be in the same place.
