[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, Pimmit Hills has lots of people who speak English (thankfully), but it also has enclaves of overcrowded tiny houses filled (overcrowded) with multi-generational Central American family units who do not speak English - or barely speak it.  I live in Pimmit Hills too, so I know what I am saying.  Among the English speakers, we still have people flying Confederate flags on the flag poles in front of their houses, or who have signs on their sheds and garages saying "If you can read this, you are to f@@@ing close".

Supervisor Foust needs to get in here and bring the quality of Pimmit Hills to the level of Tysons and McLean.  The roads in Pimmit Hills are crumbling to the point that mud is seeping through the remaining asphalt.  There are cars, trucks, boats, trailers and debris left alongside of the too-narrow roads and front yards.  There is even a flop house in the neighborhood.  Some police officers refer to many of the residents as Pilmmit Hillbillies.

Nowhere in McLean or Tysons would Foust close an eye to such neglect and abuse.  To say it has an adult learning center as if this is a good thing shows you don't understand the problem.  Who goes to such a school? See above.  It isn't even to the level of a vocational school!

Pimmit Hills is definitely treated by Supervisor Foust like a ghetto, and Supervisor Foust needs to fix it.  Now.

Further, Peach Orchard Apartments, which are not a part of Pimmit Hills, but which are separated by only a fence with a permanently open gate, are full of Central Americans.  Seemingly hundreds of those children are hoarded through the gate into Pimmit Hills to be loaded onto Fairfax County  school buses.  Why not pick them up in their own complex?

The solution is that Pimmit Hills must be absorbed by the 22182 or 22101 zipcodes and made a part of Tysons or McLean.  Then it would receive the same attention and resources as the surrounding areas.  It will never get the investment needed if children are forced to go to school in "economically diverse" schools.

What exactly did you think you were getting when you moved to Pimmit Hills?  It doesn't take much effort to recognize it's a bit rough around the edges.[/quote]
