[quote=Anonymous]And one other fun surprise.  Sprinkled throughout the DMV are charming and quirkily independent enclaves, with names like "College Park".  These lovely oases are physically located within a County--so naturally, one would think that if the County approves and issues a slew of permits, after great time and expense....then building can commence.  But that is only possible in some alternate universe. Here in this universe, there are quite a few citylets that have their own separate, independent permitting departments and processes, that stand almost wholly separate from the County.  So, you get to do a version of this permitting dance all over again.

Hypothetically, you may start screaming into your pillow at this point.  Or asking rational questions like why the two entities cannot just get together over lunch and work out a way to have one building permit count for both jurisdictions.  Or understand, suddenly, why so many local scandals involve some version of bribery between developers and government officials.

None of this will do any good.  Having to do two sets of permitting added about 4 months to the total.  It was like a very bad episode of Parks & Recreation. [/quote]
