Didn’t the whole Purcellville attempt to abolish their police department out of the blue teach you anything?

I don’t trust town government. Give me county oversight any day.

Fairfax county is too large and a handful of counties with around 200k people each would be more responsive to voters.

Fairfax county is one of the best governmentally run units in the country. No it should not be broken up. I would expand by eliminating all of the cities in the county.

That poster was just talking about FCPS. She wants to break up into smaller school systems to further segregate the poors and keep her tax dollars benefitting wealthier areas only.

It is not one of the best run in the county. It is spending too much money and the county is going downhill.

Spending too much money on what? What do you mean it's going downhill? Be specific.

DP.

Fairfax County has a rising homeless population.

Fairfax County is facing revenue problems. So much so, they have had to add a new meal tax to balance the budget.

Top ranked TJHSST keeps falling in the rankings

All positive signs of growth, amiright?

The entire country is facing a homelessness crisis if you haven't noticed. Why would we be exempt?
The new meals tax is on entertainment. Not essentials.
TJ is just fine and will continue to be.


In 2024 Fairfax county won an award for economic development.
We have multiple fortune 500 companies here.
Fairfax county GDP is $167B and has an annual growth rate of 9.3%.

Everything is fine. Everything is fine.

Multiple fortune 500 companies but they employ almost no one in Fairfax County. It looks good on paper but it's basically a Potemkin village.

No. And various posts have made it quite clear that people support increasing funding for all public schools - state wide - to be kore fair to down state counties not as wealthy as the poorest parts of Fairfax.

It was quite clear a few post in when a reference to being a "cash cow" was made. That's usually thinly veiled code for "I don't want my tax dollars going to poors and all the extra programs they need."

And most posts agreed that this was a terrible idea. Not sure where you're reading that it is supported.

There's plenty of support for breaking up the county and allowing the areas that are constantly getting ripped off to operate independently. Right now the county is run by a bunch of idiots who want to kill the geese that lay the golden eggs.

But it's muted because the state imposes impediments to incorporation. Youngkin get more mileage out of criticizing Fairfax than actually allowing parts of Fairfax to break off.
