Add more people by densely packed rental units antagonises the current problem of school capacity I find it ironic the plan has been floated for three years but the Arlington Forest Civic association never informed its local neighborhood. I dont agree with the ACBs 45 million dollar annual affordable housing budget.The quality of the schools are in a steady decline, white flight to Fairfax and.Loudon is in full effect and the ACB could care less.

Costco is too dangerous (according to Arl Now) and BJ ‘s offends me on several levels. If only we had an acre or 3 to shoehorn in a Wegmans!

We;ll. Toto, looks like we’re not in NYCity anymore– where most people walk/use public transportation and really DON’T like schlepping their groceries any farther than they have to – ergo there is a grocery store every block or two.

Other than that, I am happy to read that they are planning :”a more vibrant, mixed-use urban neighborhood at Ballston’s southern gateway, with a much more pedestrian-friendly built environment,” . I hope that does NOT mean the use of brown rubber “grass” and brown rubber “pebbles” ala Penrose Square.
