[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Pimmit Hills is treated like some kind of ghetto by the Fairfax County government, particularly Supervisor Foust.  If he really cares about Pimmit Hills residents, he should treat Pimmit Hills no differently than he does McLean.  Pimmit Hills is full of Central American immigrants, a plurality of whom barely speak English.  The roads are neglected, basic services are provided on a barely-there basis.

The biggest issue, which Supervisor Foust must be forced to correct, is that the neighborhood will never get out of ghetto status as long as children whose parents are of higher means are forced to be educated at the level of the lowest common demominator.

Children of Pimmit Hills should be allowed to choose schools in McLean or Tysons, as well as the "economically diverse" public schools they are forced to attend.[/quote]

The plurality near my home are white. But my requests to supervisor Foust for walking access to one of TWO subways straddling our neighborhood as well as eminent domain for holly Ridge Drive fell on deaf ears. The "plan" was to plow a street and sidewalk thru Westgate. Oops despite being a dumb idea, the school expanded and there's no room. We need to eminent domain holly Ridge drive!!!!!! And why am I surrounded by Metro stations I can't walk to? Wtf?[/quote]
