[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what about all the bike lanes?!?!?

Bike lanes are what make people move to a city in the first place! [/quote]

I blame that nimrod Justin and his bowing to the Biker Beta Boys.  All that really works well in Alexandria are the trash, recycling, and yard waste collectors and the men who fix the rampant water main breaks.   Can't wait for Alex to pass their form of Missing Middle and we are dumping our house on a 16,000 lot for affordable housing or whatever the new chick mayor wants to call it.[/quote]

Good luck with that the investors are already pulling out of the city projects.[/quote]

That’s been going on for years. Arlandria was going to be redeveloped back in the early 2000s but after a few years and no movement the developer backed out.

Alexandria City is small @150k resident if that and something like 60% are low income and it is the only area in NOVA with dedicated public housing. It is codified in City law that any public housing torn down must be replaced. The schools are bad and overall there is very little room for developers to make money. Once that sinks in they abandon the projects.[/quote]
