[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was on NBC4 today. They interviewed the neighbor and the owner. The owner is now claiming the extension is so his aging parents can live with them. [/quote] Found the link. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/addition-to-fairfax-county-home-sparks-debate-about-changing-building-rules/4017643/?amp=1[/quote] I like his pointed "in our culture we don't send our parents to the nursing home." NO, we build three story accommodations for them with a rabbit Warren of tiny bedrooms, multiple kitchens and baths for them to "play with their grandkids" in. The nerve.[/quote] I'm from a native, ethnic culture, been here over 40 years. This man is a slimeball. [b]He is using his "culture" as some sort of shield to justify all of this. [/b]Of course he is not sending his parents to the nursing home - the home belongs to them, not him and he hopes to get it after they pass. This is the way it works. I agree with others here that everyone is in cahoots - the parents and kids. They want to build an apt building and run a commercial operation - albiet all cash with zero taxes paid. GTFO [/quote] He knows that this is Generic Whitey's Achilles heel -- hypersensitivity to other cultures combined with insecurity about their own perceived lack of culture. He will get away with it just because of this.[/quote] This got buried 80 pages ago but seems to be the tactic the owners are taking. When all else fails, racism![/quote] He didn't say racism. But don't be naive- there's absolutely a racist component to the opposition.[/quote] So you genuinely think that there would be no opposition to this project if a white person were building it? [/quote] Not to the same degree. And, in particular, we wouldn't have people claiming he intends to rent out the rooms and cram as many people as possible in there.[/quote] Totally disagree. This thing being built as it is would be opposed regardless of who was building it. It’s offensive when people try to use the race card to excuse blatant disregard of zoning, building, and many other issues that have been thrown out the window with this addition. [/quote]
