CPHD Homework Issues Delay Smart Growth In-Fill


Hi Yupette,

If you checked out the County Board's agenda for Saturday you'll note that the Smart Growth in-fill of the Rappahannock site and site plan for the pencil building at 2000 Clarendon Blvd. are being carried over to the June County Board meeting, because of CPHD "homework issues". Berkeley Apartments gentrification may or may not be deferred to the June CB meeting because of numerous quality of life issues that surfaced when the site plan and rezoning went to the Planning Commission last week.

Oh. Latest about Crystal City is Vornado is changing its business plan and may dump all the properties it owns in Crystal City. How much has the County already provided Vornado in corporate welfare?

We need Erik Zimmerman Gutshall on the County Board like we need Hillary as President. Time to dump Smart Growth and everyone connected with Smart Growth and move on into the 21st Century.

Thanks for this blog.

Cindy, you got her right yet again. These stinkin' Smart Growth fanatics are destroying Arlington County, neighborhood by neighborhood. Send them a message and vote for Trump on November 8th. While your at it, write in Donald Trump for County Board.

When do Lyon Park's crumbling streets get repaved?

What do County Planning Staff care? Almost none live in Arlington, and one of them told me a few months ago that he wouldn't live in Arlington if the County gave him a McMansion and paid his real estate taxes.

What happens if Vornado sells Crystal City?

Seen what is occurring on Wall Street? Price of oil is going back up and decreasing disposable income available for retail purchases.

LOL. Now County Government is building a residential real estate bubble.

When do Ballston's crumbling streets get repaved?

You can bet your kids' college savings accounts that the 50-something and 60-something Elitists who are "planning" Arlington's so-called "future" have vacation homes and retirement homes nowhere near any Smart Growth mixed-use redevelopment.

Berkeley Apartments give away deals to housing for-profits and non-profits will be heard by the County Board on May 17th, sometime after 6:30 PM.

Always plenty of $$$ for street festivals in Ballston. Never enough money for street paving in Ballston.

Correction: County is inflating a residential real estate bubble to compete with DC's and Fairfax County's residential real estate bubbles.

Corporate Welfare? No other jurisdiction in the region awards bonus density for building LEED Silver .

Would Erik Gutshall do any better on the County Board than Libby Garvey? Lyon Park's streets are crumbling just like Fairlington's streets.

Erik Gutshall was just endorsed by AEA on strength of Erik's promise to say yes to every demand by APS for Taj Mahal educational infrastructure and a wide range of vanity education programs.

Notice that the Elitists who retire from County Government are replaced by Elitists who are 5 years from retirement?

I am so sick of Arlington being run to benefit special interest groups who could care less about people who aren't in their group, e.g., LGBT, soccer, dogs, aquatics, bicycles, performing arts.......

Elitists stay in power by paying off the special interests with tax dollars.
