I've lived in Arlington since 1956, and the past 20 years have seen out of control over development that has ruined Arlington. The current Board, which has been in power way too long, caters only to the developers and the way too many Yuppies from away that have flooded Arlington. Arlington used to have a genuine balance of different people and a moderate and sensible Board (both Democrat and Republican) that never would have permitted the excesses of the past 20 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-25708834560123551192011-06-24T12:47:43.486-04:002011-06-24T12:47:43.486-04:00Does anyone know if Victor Dover is licensed to pr...Does anyone know if Victor Dover is licensed to practice planning or architecture in Virginia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-48513127655631294152011-06-24T12:45:56.518-04:002011-06-24T12:45:56.518-04:00....leaving Arlington a county run by the Yuptards.......leaving Arlington a county run by the Yuptards, for the Yuptards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-199090292504446382011-06-24T12:41:33.035-04:002011-06-24T12:41:33.035-04:00Particular goal?
