[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were REALLY fortunate we got a retired family court judge from Fairfax hearing the case. The County had to walk through everything from soup to nuts. When you have to explain so much about why it’s good poor people will live in four pieces next to your fellow judges’ homes, you’re gonna lose.

The County will try to appeal, but the judge read his decision so they wouldn’t have much to work with. We have good appellate judges who also don’t want to see this type of cancerous development and malignant tenants living next door. This is done.[/quote]

It really is boomers all the way down. [/quote]

Is this the new excuse?  You couldn’t make racism stick so it’s the mean ol’ boomers that hurt your feelings this time?

Anything but accepting the faults in your arguments, I guess.

You are in the denial phase.[/quote]

The YIMBYs are layering it on by calling them “wealthy homeowners.”  As if wealth is offensive [/quote]

It is mostly wealthy homeowners vs. even wealthier developers. Even if wealth is offensive, it cancels out. [/quote]

No, In MoCo, they aren't going for Potomac - developers will be targeting lower-income areas surrounding the purple line on the east side, e.g., where immigrants live around New Hampshire, University, and Piney Branch Aves.[/quote]

And those are the areas with the most overburdened schools with the least resources, and a population least equipped to send heir kids to private.  They also tend to drive and have multigenerational households, so a worse parking situation.  The renters will be booted once the developers move in.

The YImBYs DO NOT CARE ABOUT HOUSING OR PEOPLE.  I don’t know who is still fooled by their nonsense, but they need to hear this.[/quote]
