I appreciate your concern for my home's equity, but my greater concern is all the high density housing projects that are littering the county.  The impact of massive overdevelopment on our schools and roads will become much more acute in the coming years. The bleeding of good paying jobs and high earning households to more economically friendly neighborhoods in NoVA and years of budget mismanagement by MoCO and MD will inevitably transfer the burden of accommodating the exploding population of lower class migrants on the taxpayer shoulders.

Could you please provide some examples of these "high density housing projects" that are "littering the county"? I don't think I understand what you're referring to.[/quote]

You've got to be kidding right?  Crown Farm is one example of many.

How many single family house (not townhouse)  communities are currently being constructed?[/quote]

Crown Farm is a high-density housing project? I don't think of 337 townhouses, 60 single-family detached houses, 1149 multi-family units, and 257,400 square feet of commercial uses on 88 acres as "high density". Or "housing project". We must have different definitions.

This is where I got my numbers from: http://www.crownfarm.org/[/quote]

White mom wants single family units only and expensive ones to keep the blacks and hispanics out.... multi-family units... like as in apartments and condos... agast![/quote]

Oh, so this is a "white mom" problem then?  Why do you think the county's schools are suddenly becoming so overcrowded?

The problem is that MoCo is importing poverty from NoVA which has much less friendly social policies and places less emphasis on building "affordable housing."   As taxes go up on MoCo's working families and businesses to pay for the expanding social net, the jobs and higher wage earners opt for the lower tax alternative in VA, which sports equally good amenities at a much lower cost.[/quote]

Yes.... Trump needs to build a wall on the American Legion Bridge.  :roll:

Keep the hispanics out and the rich in. ... I will take the hispanics, thanks![/quote]

So what you're saying is that its racist to express concerns about overdevelopment and economic mismanagement, correct?[/quote]

YEA... VA has not overdeveloped. BWAAAAH  :lol:  :roll:

Take a drive around Tyson's sometime.  They are building some very tall apartment buildings... next to the new metro stations and rows and rows of occupied office buildings, which extend all the way down the Dulles Corridor.  Kind of contrasts with the empty commercials along the vaunted 270 "technology corridor" eh?
