[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Langley always gets favored treatment, whether it’s the creation of boundaries that stretch across the entire county yet manage to include no apartments, or an expansion that was added when the school’s enrollment was declining.

No.  Langley did not get favored treatment.  The only illogical neighborhoods that attend Langley are on the Herndon side of Rt 7.  It was the builder's side of Rt 7.  But, why did SB approve those/  Likely pressure from BOS because of the tax revenue that it generated.  And, Langley had the space.

It was the builders that got favored treatment.[/quote]

Semantics. [/quote]

Langley residents have fought apartments for years. The recent fight over the sunrise living that would have generated no traffic and took up a year's worth of everyone's time was just an example of the ridiculousness of their arguments over the years. Herndon has more apartments because the BOS didn't want to fight Mclean and Langley residents. Lets put some apartments now in Great Falls. Even things out.[/quote]

Honestly, Langley and McLean could use some affordable housing. And some decent shopping centers. And perhaps some road expansion. Sunrise would be fine so that people in their 1 mill homes can move to the same neighborhood and let their kids live in their mcmansions.

New complexes in Tysons with over a certain number of units all have AH set-asides.  All those apartments feed into Marshall and McLean.  None currently go to Langley.[/quote]
