[b]You could elect a BOS member who actually tries to enforce the housing codes, [/b]has said "no" to developers who keep pushing to increase density in areas that aren't convenient to Metro, and insists that new schools have adequate playground space and aren't located in abandoned office buildings when there were several better alternatives.

But, no, you kept electing Penny Gross, and then you think we should smile and keep quiet when FCPS puts twice as many kids in our classes as yours?  Sorry, but our class sizes are too big, and we'll advocate aggressively to bring them down.  See you at the polls, or in the court house, whichever comes first.[/quote]

[b]So now McLean wants to blame Mason district for not ejecting the poor?  Where do you suppose those people are going to go when you "enforce the code"? (BTW last I heard code enforcement was by the County, not the Supervisor, so your supervisor would have to vote for it too) 
You know there are already homeless people in Fairfax, don't you?

You are such lovely, lovely people in McLean.   [/quote][/b]'

A[b]ctually we are very nice people but most of your posters are very ignorant.  Not ONE of you PPs have noted the fact that a position paper from the McLean Citizens Association means absolutely nothing.  Do you even know WHAT the McLean Citizens Association is?  Did you realize that there is no official town, no real chamber, no real mayor in McLean?  It is an unincorporated area.  The MCA serves ONLY as an unofficial town council for the residents of the McLean area which has no governmental structure of its own.  All it is is a forum where residents can meet only three times a year to talk.  There are only six officers, 14 at large members and 20 members representing neighborhoods.  It has zero political clout.  It meets only 3 times a year and costs $15 to join.  I have never joined.  I don't know anyone else who has joined.  No one attends the meetings.  It's considered a maverick group.  So for all these pages you posters are assuming that real McLean people are really making this fuss.  I've never heard about it before reading this post and am smart enough to know that anything coming out of MCA means zero.

Meanwhile I am paying over $18,000 a year in property taxes x 25 years and have sent only one child through the local public high school.  As soon as we finish with state universities we are moving out because the property taxes are killing us.[/quote]

Please read.  You are all spending way too much time fighting over something that means very little.[/quote]
