[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High taxes in FCC. Can’t imagine choosing to live there when you don’t even have kids in school.[/quote]

FCC is also absolute hell to drive through. They are constantly adding "traffic calming" measures- low speed limits even on main roads, no turn on red, no left turn signs, adding more and more traffic lights and stop signs, poorly planned light timing- I am looking at you the entire area near the new Whole Foods.

I agree with this person but adding that I don't even go down to the area that she is talking about as we live just outside city limits near Meridian HS and all of the new development (with much more to come) has made navigating the whole city a nightmare. Most of the time we go the back way around and avoid Broad St. altogether. Unfortunately, I think they are planning to do to 29 what they'e done to Broad St in the next 5-10 years. They are turning Falls Church City into Clarendon.[/quote]

FCC is also very risky if Virginia ends up passing a state level zoning reform like SB79 (in California). If that happens, hundreds of acres in the city will upzoned to 60-100 units per acre by-right. The population of FCC would double or even triple within a decade if VA gets its own version of SB 79.

Because of this I would not recommended buying any single family houses within a mile of a metro station or VRE station. [/quote]
