And that something will be the SB current clown car voted out next year.  I am fine with diversity of all types - but not if it has to be socially engineered. [/quote]

Social engineering - the use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and regulate the future development and behavior of a society.

So you're telling me the current status quo exists [i]not[/i] due to social engineering?  :roll: Are you saying "centralized planning" wasn't used by the School Board to define Langley's boundaries? Are you saying Fairfax County Dept. of Planning and Development doesn't [i]centrally[/i] control the zoning regulations to limit residential development in Great Falls by restricting units per acre according to some old master plan document? The citizens of Great Falls don't [i]plan[/i] at Town Halls to vote against zoning changes?[/quote]

Residential development in GF is restricted by size because the lots are on septic - which yes, residents have voted to keep, as is their right.  Even the GF shopping center is on a septic field, which limits development there (thankfully).  What about that do you not understand?[/quote]

DP, but serious question - what laws allow GF residents to decide what the zoning is in their unincorporated part of Fairfax County, or whether they should remain on septic (which of course limits future development)?

I ask because it seems like the Board of Supervisors and the planning commission just decide on their own where development, affordable housing, etc. occurs elsewhere.  I don't think they specifically obtain approval from those most affected in each instance. [/quote]

Great Falls takes stormwater management and runoff very seriously due to its close proximity to the Potomac River.  The goal is to preserve the historic, low-density, semi-rural character of Great Falls and the protection of its natural resources.  This is part of the draw of this area - it isn't built up and over-saturated with housing.  [/quote]
