[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Creating More cafs means less market rate housing, which means rent goes up and the middle class moves out. The middle class used to be able to live in north Arlington. My boomer colleagues are puzzled that I wouldn’t just move and send my kid to ashlawn or long branch. That’s what they did in the 80’s. Of course they will be selling their shitty little homes for a million dollars. Would that I could afford them, and the deferred maintainance they will inevitably demand.[/quote] Yes, that's because Arlington politics caters to the wealthy and the destitute. It's kinda funny -- back in the late 80s, the county manager issued a doom and gloom scenario that without affordable housing we'd just turn into a community of childless yuppies, like Clark Griswold's neighbors in Christmas Vacation. The proverbial soulless suburb. I think that's an anxiety or inferiority complex the county's betters has always had. [/quote]
