[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article today indicates, in my read of it, that it’s 99. 99999 percent certain amazon hq2 is coming to Arlington (Crystal City).  This school swap must be related to that.  [/quote]
Whew!  It had been a few days since everything was about ASFS and "the swap."  I was getting worried.  Of course.  It's so obvious that swapping these two schools is preparation for thousands more people coming to the County. :roll: [/quote]

I think that the need for a neighborhood school there would dovetail with increases in families with kids in Rosslyn and the area.  I’m not sure the county is equipped for amazonhq2.[/quote]

The need for neighborhood schools will extend beyond there. Not everyone is going to live in Rosslyn.   Nobody is equipped for HQ2.[/quote]
And they are equally, or more likely, to live in Crystal City and Alexandria which are adjacent to Potomac Yards and the office buildings in Crystal City.[/quote]
Sorry,one last comment:  it's not all about ASFS/Key area of Arlington!  HQ2 might come to Crystal City/Potomac Yards, and you're focused on ASFS/Key.  We get it - you want/we need another neighborhood school in NE.[/quote]

They're not living in Rosslyn or even the Key zone. A bunch of $$$$ houses in 22207 that have been on the market for a very long time are suddenly under contract. It's either speculators or those executives.

Not saying that there aren’t other needs.  I’m just saying that this is one piece of the puzzle.  Clearly, too, executives will live up in the lily white parts where there are schools with slides in them.[/quote][/quote]

Yeah, I guess all the higher-ups will want to live in north arlington.  The rif-raf will come from south Arlington and has no impact on schools there.  Or in Alexandria, DC, Maryland,.....
The arrogance of north arlington has no limit.[/quote]

There's nothing on the market in 22202 and very little in 22204 since the spring market. But a bunch of $$$ homes in Alexandria (Belle Haven) and higher end new builds in 22207 that didn't sell in the spring are under contract all of a sudden. Just the facts. If there were similar properties on the market in South Arlington, they'd be under contract, too, but there's not. People are holding. Buckle up everybody!

But this has nothing to so with the Key/ASFS swap, and the swap has nothing to do with Amazon coming or not. It's not some plot to appease Amazon execs. There's no conspiracy. The school isn't located in a good spot for Immersion, and their aren't enough neighborhood seats in this quadrant. [/quote]
