[quote=Anonymous]I am PP, and I would be absolutely thrilled if we could demolish all of the public housing in Old Town, and have it replaced with modest homes owned by middle class African-American families.   I wouldn't even mind if the city subsidized construction of "affordable housing" condos/townhouses that could be sold at a restricted price, but only to ALEXANDRIA's teachers, police, firefighters, nurses, etc. who currently can't afford to buy a place in Alexandria.   That would be much better than tearing down existing public housing, then building sparkling new public housing in the same place, and continuing the status quo of importing freeloaders in from neighboring jurisdictions and requiring them to pay little/nothing in rent.  As Alexandria has gentrified in the last decade, it has become a city with no middle class.  Unless you're rich enough to pay half a million for a tiny townhouse or poor enough to qualify for public housing, you're out of luck around here...

But I'll keep my address to myself to avoid the tire-slashing.  Stay classy, middle-class liberal.  I appreciate your tolerance and devotion to freedom of thought and expression.  You are a credit to liberals everywhere.  [/quote]
