[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just suggest that s Arlington be one a becone a separate county at this point.  It would do better.  Still confused about when, from 2000 to now,it went off the rails.[/quote]

That isn't a possibility, and it would not be good for south Arlington.

And south Arlington didn't go off the rails. The. Arlington democratic commitee went off the rails.

If you hopped in your time machine and went back 15- 25 years you'd see how much nicer the area has become. There used to be murders people! Four mile was scary.

The fact that the area has turned around is what is causing all the fuss. It was an easy de facto dumping ground politically before- now there are educated, significantly invested stake holders saying, " wait a second! This isn't going to work for us"
And they should make a fuss. 22204 saw the biggest percentage tax increase in the county last go around. The county is enjoying the increased homeowner revenue. Now they can also enjoy dealing with demanding homeowners as well. You don't get one without the other.

And I contend it's coming to a head with the lack of choice schools. When south Arlington parents stopped having choice schools as an option, the volume got turned way up. It happened to coincide with the cancellation of the streetcar, so now IT'S ON![/quote]
