Doubtful. I have worked in this area's juvenile system, and that is not a likely theory. Sometimes neighbors like to believe/relay that youths commit crimes, so as to attempt to not detract from the "desirability" (not really) of an area.

Why not? It's a rather small corner lot on a busy intersection, but across from Haycock ES and - although a bit stretch - walkable to WFC metro. Unless of course you're superstitious and believe in ghosts, karma or whatever...

I think PP was referring to the blatant animosity by the neighbors about the first (if not, one of the first) new builds. New builds do not sit well with people who are in the old houses. One reason is jealousy.

That area (West Falls Church/22043) is full of new builds. Some preceded "Gigantor" and others followed. The fires at the one site haven't kept people from building elsewhere in the neighborhood and they obviously haven't dissuaded one of the area's larger builders from building at the same site.

So what? Just because you won't admit there is animosity, does not mean animosity does not exist between old and new houses.

Give it up.

I'm more than happy to acknowledge people like you have a lot of animosity and biases. Others are usually nicer to each other.

Correct. They are usually nicer about other people having more than they do.

There's another new house a block away that was listed for about the same price that's under contract.

A house a block away would not offend abutting properties of what the neighbors call gigantor.

The neighbors int eh video clearly seem more concerned with the house than the fire.

The house is on a corner and only has two abutting properties. If I were you, I'd be careful about what you insinuate about particular neighbors.

Why? The video will be of interest in the investigation, obviously. Are you naming names?

Insofar as the video was made right after the last fire, over two years old, it's hard to see how it could provide any fresh information to investigators now. Is there even an ongoing inquiry at this point?

In any event, I watched it and the neighbors seemed more worried about the safety implications of the repeated fires at the same location than the size of the big house. I disagree with your attempt to suggest otherwise.

Shady that the listing references "highly rated Falls Church schools" ... the schools, while certainly well regarded, are Fairfax/McLean schools.

Haycock and Longfellow are in falls church. There's nothing shady about it. They were possibly hoping to avoid the criticism that someone dare try to pass off a falls church house that feeds into mclean as being physically located in mclean proper. There was a precious 10-page thread of people raging that anyone suggest this area is mclean.

The house is right across the street from Haycock ES and a couple of blocks from Longfellow MS. Both are in Falls Church and anyone looking at the house would know the school assignments.

Ha it's clearly trying to invoke a perceptual connection to FCC.

No it's not. Anyone with school aged kids, looking to buy in that area knows the schools are FFX county. It is completely accurate to say Haycock and Longfellow are highly rated Falls Church schools

Congrats on getting this scam exposed! Calling school located in Falls Church as "Falls Church schools" is soooooo wrong...

Exceptionally poor attempt to troll, even by DCUM standards. The average sale price of a SFH in the Haycock district over the past year was $60K more than the average sale price of a SFH in FCC.

Who ARE the petty posters who insist on posting about the schools? Who cares?

Also, the 3rd time fire is indeed sketchy, whether it be by neighbors or whomever.
