I've never been to either place. But doesn't zoning and/or code prevent multiple families or unrelated individuals from living in a single family home together? That's what duplexes or triplexes are for.

I’ve read that the code isn’t enforced.

You dont have to read that code isn't enforced. You can drive through neighborhoods and see that this is true.

Herndon has many sections of new and /or middle class homes. There is a section with a large Latino and low income population, but that is not all of Herndon. Calling it “Little Mexico” is ridiculous because immigrants here don’t come from Mexico.

When I’m in Sterling it’s for Wegmans Target Michaels and Home Depot.

When we were about to do a huge renovation we looked at a place in Sterling to rent so that we could visit the site daily. The house we saw was clearly occupied by many unrelated adults, and it looked like that was much of the block.

Again, you were most likely in Sterling Park. Drive through neighborhoods in Cascades, Countryside, or Lowes Island.

Sterling and Herndon are like Annandale and Silver Spring - big areas with variety of neighborhoods. That should not be lost, either when referring to residential neighborhoods or thinking about the futures of particular schools.

No, not Sterling park. I go over there to drop items at Goodwill and I’ve been to an outdoor event or two at the community center/library (which is getting a very nice renovation)

I know Cascades area is wealthier, after all Trump’s country club is out that way/lowes island.

Sterling Parkway is a very nice drive due to the wide median and the well-kept houses. The neighborhood we looked at was in a different spot and a little run down, so that explained the very reasonable rent for the number of bedrooms.

We digress speaking of Sterling since it is in Loudoun County.

It would only have been relevant had the dem candidate for governor won, since part of his plan was to ignore county lines when drawing school boundaries if you could get the right racial mix.

Wow. Is that true? But funding for schools is local, as are the elected board members.

You had to have read his full plan on his education website. There was going to be a chief intergration officer inspecting and everything.

As someone mentioned, zoning is not enforced. Many years ago, the HPD was getting training on ICE enforcement and zoning laws had been enforced but that was abandoned when the mayor at the time was voted out.

Thats' a shame. It's a quality of life and fire safety issue. That's why codes exist.

If it wasn’t Sterling Park, probably was Sugarland Run.

Who needs fire codes if it's not PC to enforce them?

Just waiting for the absurdity to bend so far around that the county is attacked for not enforcing the code and inon enforcement having a disparate impact on those neighborhoods.

Wow. You don’t even know what’s going on here. I’m stepped at where to begin with you.
