[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody done research into how many churches own large swaths of land in Northern Virginia?  This area is already pretty built up.  While annoying for some who live near these potential buildings, I don't think it's going to ruin public schools.  [/quote]

The other problem with the law is that there is no cutoff date for eligibility. So a church could buy a 1,000 acres of farmland now and then do a massive by-right development after 5 years. It would be better to have the law only cover properties that were purchased by a non-profit before January 1st of this year to prevent gaming of the law where nonprofits can create massive developments that will overwhelm local infrastructure.

This is actually a good point.

For most churches who have buildings on less than an acre, it won't necessarily be easy for them to get financing for these projects.  And for the ones that too, the housing brought online is probably needed.[/quote]
