Last night Zimmerman chastised Arlington's planning staff for "unilaterally" proposing a general land use plan amendment. Actually the County is so hard up for tax revenue that Zimmerman and county staff will do anything to make the developers happy.

There's been a huge increase in births over the past few years, about 4.4 million births in 2009 and 2.4 million deaths.
Anyone with half a brain knows that a 3 million + population growth every year will have serious negative environmental consequences.
East Coast is going to be one continuous sprawl suburb in 20 years - see the farms, forests, mountains, beaches now.
