Quoted: One would think that loudoun would be better than Fairfax in this regard. But, i don't have first hand knowledge. Welcome to Loudoun County!! There are elections coming up - time to beat up on some of these 'dumb/smart growth' tree huggers. DD

Welcome to Loudoun, but what passes for the Repulican party in Loudoun (Bought, paid for, signed, sealed and delivered, by major land development companies like Toll, Pulte, et. al)is gonna have it's ass handed to it on election day. The incumbent board chairman now an Independent candidate since the "Republican" party was bought by new management, is going to win again.
The citizens of Loudoun have said loud and clear at the polls that we don't want the whole county Ashburnized (sprawling, middle class subdivision, full of cookie cutter homes packed as densely as possible).
Don't come crying to me about "property rights". These same people have for years benefited from lowered taxes (while the rest of us pulled the slack) for having their 100 acre estates and investment land in "land use" and are now screaming bloody murder because now when they subdivide and cash out, they'll only get $10 million instead of $16 million, due to lower density zoning.
If the Loudoun "Republicans" do manage to win, it will be a testament to the backroom deal, good ol' boy, politician for sale culture and the residents of the county will be the poorer for it.
If these views qualify me as a tree huggin' dumb ass, then I'm in good company.
