[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with all this is that people with no skin in the game are talking as if they should have the same respect as homeowners.

When you look at the YIMBYs and the do gooders pushing this thing, you find a ton of them are renters. They live on the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and think they can tell homeowners how their lots should be zoned.

We really need to start taking property ownership into account when electing local officials and providing County services. You should get a vote weighted by the value of your property. If you’re a taker you shouldn’t vote as that’s a conflict of interest.

This extends to the schools that will get way more crowded with this. Your place in school should be tied to the tax dollars you generate. If you live in a $3m home you choose your teacher and classes first. If you rent I’m a so-called affordable housing apartment your kid attends school at night with the second or third shift teachers. Let the takers live in Arlington if they get a grant or public housing, but don’t treat them the same as homeowners’ kids.[/quote]

We don’t choose our parents.
