[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Fairfax County is huge.[/b]  Inside the beltway is of course very crowded for the most part.  But there is also Burke, Clifton, GMU, Fairfax Station, and Old Town Herndon etc.  You just can't paint the whole place with one wide brush.[/quote]

This. What a stupid post. [/quote]

Troll nonsense... walked into a leafy hood!... friggin' sidewalks.  walked into a wall for I66...  What empty nester talks like that?  And if OP really lived in North Arlington and now lives in DC (though they are getting their car worked on in Merrifield?), they would have to be utterly clueless to not understand why Fairfax County would appeal to many, for a variety of reasons.   I call shenanigans![/quote]

I don’t think this person is a troll. I think they just don’t really know the area.

It sounds like they were at the Nutley steet Exxon which is right off of 66, so they walked behind the garage into the neighborhood that was there before they  expanded 66, and put in the toll lanes, anyone who has a house around there got screwed who knew 66 was going to go from a simple 4 lane hwy to a 16 lane  behemoth.

I’ve been here all of my life and didn’t see it coming. I assumed they would expand metro, added a third rail to do
express trains, etc. which would have left a much smaller footprint and enticed a whole lot of people to take the metro into Tysons and DC, but we got what we got.

OP Fairfax definitely has issues, one they are too developer friendly, but even close in Fairfax and Vienna have neighborhoods that are far from
what you describe.

That area is a cluster F because FFX didn’t do what it was supposed to do, create a town center at Vienna, shops, groceries, offices, restaurants and some more housing, instead it’s all housing, with a slow metro, so more people and cars and still needing to drive to get anywhere.

Adding the lanes to 66 and the extra complicated on off ramps just made it uglier. [/quote]

As part of my (two-hour) walk, yes, I ended up at the intersection of Nutley street and Route 29.
