Is Barbara Favola a Yuppie Re-Segregationist Corporate Welfare Queen?

Many Arlingtonians are asking this question after Barbara's performance at Saturday's County Board Meeting.

No surprise that Scott McCaffrey endorsed Barbara Favola...the massive gentrification will keep rolling and the Sun-Gazette's ad revenue from massive gentrification will keep flowing.

Yes to all. Barbara also had the Arlington Police stalk the totally pacifist Green Party before, during, and after Saturday's County Board meeting, to the tune of at least one cop per Green Party member.

Yes she is. She wants all the African Americans out of Arlington and the Latinos too

if anyone is stalking me he had better have good boots on for when my bike runs over his foot. Ok, it is a moped but it would still hurt.

Yupette, were you the person in the Board meeting who was taking notes and had your hair in a chopstick barrette thing?

I think that woman was a Post reporter taking a few notes to add to the press release handout from the PR team in the County Manager's office.

What Scott McCaffrey won't tell you and won't allow to be printed in the Sun-Gazette is that Barbara Favola is responsible for the outrageously inappropriate expansion of Marymount University (which employs Barbara) and the concomitant destruction of many existing single family homes in the area around Marymount to be replaced by unaffordable condos and McMansions. The luxury in-fill teardowns are already beginning. The neighborhood will also endure as many as 3000 additional vehicle trips per day from a large parking garage to be built on the Marymount campus. The neighborhood is outraged, just as the Cherrydale neighbors are about the fire station planning disaster.

The local media don't care about your neighborhood, they only care about the ad revenue your neighborhood's luxury redevelopment will generate. The Sun-Gazette is controlled by YuPalin Neo-Cons from Loudoun County. If Arlington residents want a wake-up about the S-G read the local government, developer, and chamber-of-commerce PR Scott McCaffrey edits and prints in his upscale Fairfax and Loudoun County newspapers.

Barbie Barbara Favola is a Weicker Republican. Gentrification J. Fisette is a Scranton Republican. Cooter Chris Zimmerman is a Rockefeller Republican. Their common agenda is welfare for the wealthy; any interest in the poor, minorities, the environment, better transporation, etc., is only window dressing.

Yupette, I would like to know about the Elitists' gentrification agenda.

AY, houw about a topic change? Let's post about Antonsmelly and see what we can find out about him, as we did for his girlfriend Nancy Hunt.

John Antonelli is just another economic refugee from the formerly de facto segregated Boston suburbs, like Jim Moran, Kate Hanley, Gerry Connolly, etc., who never met a minority that he didn't want to gentrify out of Northern VA.

Barbara Favola wants to bring massive in-fill condo re-development to 22207. Guess who will be running expensive ads for the condos? The local media that endorsed her.

Corporate Welfare? Barbara Favola never saw a needy developer who was looking for a bonus density handout in a expensive condo redvelopment that she didn't want to help. As in bonus density for no affordable housing. Or, if there is an affordable housing contribution by developers it's for "affordable" housing in S. Arlington for entry-level teachers making $50,000 / yr. She is the worst. We can't afford 4 more years of her on the C.B.

Favola is another one, like Nanny Nancy Hunt and John Antonsmelly, who wants to micro-manage everyone's life but her own personal life is off-limits.

Wall Street Journal today - U.S. Chamber of Commerce and local affiliates are spending heavily to re-elect pro-business Republicans.

Why am I not surprised that Arlington Chamber of Commerce board member Scott McCaffrey endorsed Barbara Favola?

Favola doesn't even bother talking like a Democrat anymore, she's a McCain Republican when it comes to the economy.

Barbara Favola is so into gentrification that she denied Antonelli reappointment to the Housing Commission because Antonelli was squawking about the Form Based Charade destroying his moderate-income neighborhood on the Pike.

Anonymous said...

It was not only that, the County Board was pissed to learn that Antonelli and his gal pal, Karen Murray, wrote the Jane Barcroft novels, with help from a dozen malicious busybody Republicans.

The Yupublicrat County Board is waiting until Favola is re-elected to bail out Ed Peete to the tune of $1 million to demolish his Lee Highway disaster. Planning Commission Chair Nanny Nancy Hunt wanted to bail out Ed Peete immediately. But Favola was afraid that would enable John Reeder to carry the already PO'd Cherrydale precinct.

Did you know that you need Nancy Hunt's permission to get a flu shot at the Fairlington Health Fair?

Anonymous said...

Does not surprise me. I am also sure Nancy will pass whatever information she can obtain about Fairlington residents' health directly to Zimmerman's Rumor Central Coordination Center.

AY, please don't start a thread about John Antonelli, the guy is a right wing a-hole who passes anything and everything he hears about anyone to the Feds and Arlington PD. If Antonelli doesn't hear anything bad about someone he dislikes, he makes something up.

No, you should do a thread on John Antonelli. Antonelli is a scary guy who is a cop wannabe who works for the Justice Department but is from a Boston crime family (Mafia, La Cosa Nostra) that is involved in major drug trafficking.
