[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a recent article on the Langston Blvd redevelopment plan (which has now replaced MM as their hot topic) current Arlington County Board: https://www.arlnow.com/2023/10/16/arlington-county-board-sets-hearings-for-next-month-on-langston-blvd-plan/

Quote from current board member de Ferranti:

"This is a burning priority for me and so, this almost rises to level of office vacancy rate for me,” de Ferranti said,..."

(FYI: Arlington County’s office vacancy rate was 23.7% in the first quarter of 2023 per ArlNow article.)

And this word salad from Libby Garvey:

“The more we can figure out some tools, and continue to work on getting better tools and continue monitoring, that will get us closer to our goals.”

Um, what? :roll:

Can't fix existing problems but let's go ahead a make another mess over here on Langston Blvd. This is what we are dealing with folks. [/quote]

The comment section is brutal - very detailed analysis that the County Board is taking a "ready, fire, aim" approach. But what else is new?[/quote]

Ah yes, the Arlnow comments section. NIMBYism at its finest![/quote]

It's about half and half. There are some pretty insufferable YIMBYs on the site and then the geezers who count everyone else's money and the stoner who thinks he's mayor, and the substitute teacher from Alexandria who thinks she runs the school board.   There's nothing fine about that lot.  [/quote]
