[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maureen Coffey. She is so inspiring and will bring needed diversity to the board.[/quote]

Diversity? How so?[/quote]

We need a renter on the board! Diversity is good. Also a young person who understands the issues we face.[/quote]

With all due respect, Coffey is renting in Clarendon - not the same as 3-4 post college adults sharing a group house in Ballston or an immigrant family of 5+ sharing a small garden apartment off FMR. The issues in Clarendon are typically with rent increases not things like rodent infestations that have families sleeping in one room so the parents can keep the mice off their sleeping kids. But sure, keep trying to sell that I'm "just like you" narrative. [/quote]

I live in Clarendon. Rent increases are a problem. Supporting Maureen all the way.[/quote]

Again, if you live in Clarendon (the most expensive neighborhood) and complain about rent increases, you don't have much to complain about. There are SO many more pressing issues in Arlington County right now that need to be addressed like [b]increasing crime rates[/b] which are truly concerning.[/quote]
Lies. Crime isn't increasing.[/quote]

Read the Arlington County Police crime report.   Crimes that are generally property related are reported on line with no police follow up.  The kids who have been shoplifting in Westover were given a wink and a nod until they stole eggs from Walgreens and egged the Italian Store that is owned by the powerful Tramonte family.  Now vandalism and shoplifting is noticed.

We reported a minor vandalism incident online recently and were shocked at how much follow up there was. We were filing a report just in case we wanted to submit to insurance and we weren't expecting a call at all. It was handled extremely well and the detective gave us options for how much we wanted to go after the guy.

^That's good to see - I am glad ACPD is taking this seriously. [/quote]
