[quote=Anonymous][quote]I love how posters scream and yell about long commutes and traffic, but have zero issue with the current Langley boundaries where in some cases houses are over 10 miles from Langley and less than 3 miles from Herndon. The current boundaries make no sense.

Sadly, the location of Langley requires that kids come from long distances.  That's just the way it is.

Are you aware of the neighborhoods that were redistricted from Chantilly to Oakton against their will?  This happened during the South Lakes redistricting.  They lived less than 3 miles from Chantilly and their commute was more than doubled in length and, at least, tripled in time over winding backroads or requiring the use of I-66.  The families wanted to stay at Chantilly--and, guess what?  The demographics at Chantilly are nowhere near as affluent as those of Oakton.  (One of the parents later "attacked" Kathy Smith when she was canvassing for Supervisor.  it was in the paper.)

Making people move is not as easy as you think.  [/quote]
