[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  Perhaps our Board of Supervisors, which is so deeply committed to "One Fairfax," should prioritize the construction of affordable housing within Langley's current boundaries, especially the area closest to Great Falls Village. That's the most walkable part of Great Falls, and bus service could run from GFV to Metro, so it might well make sense to incentivize developers to build affordable housing there like the county is doing at this site in Tysons in the Marshall HS district:

The problem with these ideas is that they ignore reality. Two obvious issues:

1. Where would you build this level housing? There is no available land near Great Falls Village.

2. Even if there were land (and the zoning could be changed), there is no sewer service and you aren’t building higher density housing on septic (and certainly not lower-cost housing). [/quote]

Where there's a will, there's a way.  If it needs to be in the part of Great Falls that isn't on septic, so be it.  [/quote]
