[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Reston is folks' view of a utopia, please don't show me your dystopia.  Reston is a dump.[/quote]

Reston is where many taxpayers live and raise families. They would like to do so safely.[/quote]
Parts of Reston are dumpy, and other parts are very upscale. It's really nice around the RTC, with condos going for as much as $1.5 million and the nearby townhouses going for nearly $1 million, populated by highly educated professionals. So why not put the homeless shelter in the dumpy part, where they'll blend in better, rather than dropping it in next to million dollar homes? [/quote]

Why did you buy in Reston if this bothers you? Reston planners want a good mix of incomes throughout Reston. They want apartments next to million dollar houses. This has always been what Reston is about. [/quote]
I'm fine with the subsidized housing and the low-income apartments. Never a problem. It's the homeless people at the library that is unacceptable.

Please, let's no lump together low-income workers and mentally ill homeless people. Two different populations entirely.[/quote]
