Hey Yupette,
Just read about the celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the Beatles film HELP! I saw the film when I was a kid, now I'm 59. So I bought a DVD of the film and watched it again as an adult. The thought struck me that Smart Growth is a Cult and our neighborhoods get to be sacrificed, one by one, to the Developers. People who run the Smart Growth Cult don't even live here. I live in Leeway-Overlee and we're being set up to be one of the next neighborhoods to be sacrificed. The High Priests of Smart Growth never seem to suffer the consequences, they just get richer off mixed use redevelopment. Thanks for your blog.

Ask His Holiness the Almighty Guru Hoskins
Almighty Guru of Gridlock Hoskins lives in Historic Georgetowne.
County Government, Planning Commission, Chamber of Commerce, etc., all worship the County's deity named Vornado The Almighty.
New Urbanism aka Smart Growth is a total Cult that completely controls our lives. Everyone in Arlington who has any significant input to the decisions that govern us belongs to this Cult. Everyone.
Including the local media which realize big profits from "neighborhood sacrifice".
"Neighborhood Sacrifice". You got that right.
Someone should get that ring from Ringo and slip it on Jay Fisette's finger at the next big Dem event.....like the Jefferson-Jackson, correction Clinton-Clinton, Dinner.
Can't do it. Ashton Heights is "off limits" for neighborhood sacrifice, per Guru Hoskins and Swami Fisette.
Correct. They are of the Brahman Caste and such is not allowed.
How and when did we approve the policy of continuously rezoning residential neighborhoods from single family to condominiums and apartments?
Bluemont is the first neighborhood where entire blocks of single-family homes will be bulldozed for "affordable housing".
They voted for a new 'affordable housing' policy that will destroy entire single-family neighborhoods to enrich developers and the bloated government and non-profit housing bureaucracies to create thousands more entry-level apartments for members of the so-called 'creative class' who earn $55,000 to $90,000.

Hey, check out the County Board agenda for September 24th. County is bulldozing a desirable single family detached rambler adjacent to a park at a cost of $750,000 plus $10,000 per year in lost tax revenue. How 'smart' is that?
How about the wooded area that was bulldozed at Washington Blvd. at George Mason Drive to build ugly brick homes?
Home to be bulldozed on North Harrison is on Thursday's regular County Board agenda.
High Priest John Milliken and High Priestess Ginger Brown released Smart Growth 2.0 Dogma last night at the joint County Board - School Board Meeting.
