[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pike 3400 apartments, those are the ones on Glebe, right? That is not in the Randolf zone, which is much further west, even west of Barcroft.

There is a new development, in the works for 4 mile run and the pike.  That is all Barcroft neighborhood.  And another one in the early planning process for where Foodstar is, also in Barcroft.  I don't know if those are all dedicated affordable or market rate affordable, but they are all surrounded by cheap housing/cheap retail and bad traffic so not expected to be luxury in any way. Within the next 5 years when people move into those developments, where are the kids to be educated?

You are incorrect about almost everything you wrote. The Pike 3400 is located within Doiglas Park and is closer east than Barcroft. If you look on a map you will see that Douglas Park is just east of Barcroft in general. If you look at the boundaries on the APS site you will see that Pike 3400 is zoned Randolph. 
As for the other as yet built housing you mentioned, if you look and see who the developers are you will see that a) they are being developed along the form based code and b) they will be higher end. The Food Star development is being envisioned along the same lines as what happened over at Penrose. People said the same things about location and traffic when they started building the Pike 3400 apts. they aren't going to bother with market rate if that can't squeeze every penny out of it. 
Yes, the Food Star development will be zoned Barcroft. [/quote]
