Hey, Yupette,
I live in Fairlington Villages in a townhouse that's directly adjacent to Abingdon School. First of all, we are NOT low income housing, as Christian Dorsey's fellow Abingdon PTA parents would have everyone believe. Townhomes in our neighborhood are selling for $450,000 and up.
So, APS held a so-called 'Gallery Walk' at Abingdon School last Wednesday to show off the plans for the school's renovation and expansion. This was also supposed to be a County Board Meeting. Nearby neighbors showed up with e-mails (obtained via FOIA requests, exchanged among County Planning Staff, APS Staff, Planners, Consultants, and 'Community Leaders') and the use permit conditions (including architectural drawings) and demanded to know why the promised on-site renewable energy and building and classroom upgrades were eliminated from the architectural plans in favor of large expenditures for landscaping, and parking lots for SUVs. And every TDM 'improvement' in the Smart Growth Dictionary is going to be imposed on the neighborhood adjacent to the school, whether it's needed or not.
Hearing their country day school infrastructure being threatened, Christian Dorsey and his fellow PTA Parents called the Arlington Police to attempt to intimidate Abingdon's neighborhood residents from asking more embarrassing questions. Cops showed up and neighborhood residents were incensed and complained bitterly. Oh, turns out that APS can't afford to construct both state-of-the-art building infrastructure and upscale parking infrastructure for SUVs so new building infrastructure (including renewable energy) was thrown under the Parents' SUVs.

Stay tuned for the new Abingdon School Lexus parking lot to erode into Four Mile Run while it's being constructed in 2017.
Sorry we can't engage in Community Policing in Fairlington. There's no overtime in it for us. Lots of overtime available from chaperoning pub crawls and festivals in Shirlington. Have an overtaxed and underprotected day.
Thanks, Christian, for protecting us from those neighborhood troublemakers.
Speaking of overtime, I'm making a lot of overtime keeping the Third World thugs who enforce conformity for Third World dictatorships out of altercations with local residents at the Police Games.
Yeah, we let those dumbass prison employees help the murderers escape 'cause we need the overtime from a massive manhunt and the satisfaction from executing two convicted murderers.
Just a coincidence they used our hunting cabins and borrowed our hunting rifles and shotguns.
Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo congratulates LE for shooting a "suspect" in the back who turns out to be one of the escapees? Duh.
Meanwhile, human waste from Third World dictatorships is infecting our local police departments via the Annual Anti-Terrorist Police Conference, aka Police Games.
Emergency's Over - Sheeple taxpayers in NY, VT, NH, Canada, be prepared to pay your favorite police forces $100 million in overtime.
Time for Arlington voters to face facts -- Christian Dorsey is a Poverty Pimp...Katie Cristol is a Poverty Hoe.
I wouldn't go quite that far. They would change the priority of the County Board from addressing human wants to human needs.
Speaking of Fairlington, if you look back 40 years when Fairlington was converted from apartments to condos the people who bought the condos were earning 50% and 60% of area median income.
I blame the Democrats who completely controlled Arlington for 15 years for the problems the County faces today.
Wants not needs the priority? Talk to Jay Fisette about it.
The Feds should investigate how and why the prison escape occurred.
I was paying 50% of my take-home pay for rent to live in a 1-bedroon apartment in trendy Virginia Square overlooking a used car lot. Duh. Moved 100 miles away to a nice middle class community and I work from home, a well-preserved 4-bedroon 3-bath rambler. Have a retired teacher as a room mate. He spends most of his time fishing and playing golf. I drive to Arlington one day a week for a mid-day meeting, otherwise telecommute. What is the attraction of the Millennial lifestyle when one is 26 years old and 4 years beyond college? Beats me.
No attraction to me. I bought a $600,000 fix-up 3-bedroom 2-bath ranch / rambler home in a suburb I won't mention. Not that far from Arlington. So for $650,000 I have a great home.
Millennial so-called "lifestyle' sucks. Been there, done that. Benefits the Democrats' developer campaign contributors.
About 3,000 New York State Law Enforcement received about $10,000 each for 20 days so about $30 million in overtime.
How much are inside-the-beltway police receiving in overtime for the Third World Police Games? Another $30 million?
The people who lead Arlington's Smart Growth Propaganda Machine don't live in Arlington, that's why.
Where do the SUV soccer parents live? In exclusive neighborhoods like Ashton Heights. No time to waste waiting for the school bus to show up.
Is there a list of the countries who sent their law enforcement to the World Police Games?
Russia, China, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Azerbijan, Turkey, Israel, Kazakhstan.....
There are MANY shooting events where police forces can practice the best ways to shoot unarmed suspects, troublemakers, socialists, etc.
What the Post won't report - at least a thousand competitors are participating in an advanced tactical shooting event at these so-called "Games", most of them from nations with abysmal human rights records.
Oh, and the event is off limits if you are not "law enforcement".
As of now Abingdon School will have a LEED score of 52 with 54 points needed to obtain LEED Silver certification.
