I recently learned that the Board of Supervisors wants to place low-income housing in McLean, Vienna and Great Falls. I also was told School Board Member Janie Strauss supports this plan and wants to turn our area schools into a population more like Reston/Herndon. Does anyone know where she plans to put this low income housing in the community? Thanks.

Really? Who told you this about 'our area schools'? Aren't Reston & Herndon in the same 'area' as McLean, Vienna and Great Falls?

Really, you need to provide more information about this.

It was discussed at our neighborhood association meeting this week. Here is information from the county government: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/planning/rsu/rsu.htm

And this questionnaire from Janie Strauss was also circulated:

#3. How will you address the growing economic divide in county schools?

#We must also urge the Board of Supervisors to avoid as much as possible, housing patterns that tend to over- concentrate high poverty in certain regions.

I don't have the documentation, but our HSA showed the SB minutes from 2013 where she voiced support - along with SB rep Pay Hynes from Reston/Herdon - for the BOS actions.

This is VERY disturbing for property values.

Good Christians would open the homes and hearts for others less fortunate.

This is just the hope and change you all voted for. Celebrate diversity!

If you don't want low income housing in your area, don't accept low income workers in your area. Drive to the poor areas to get your nails done.

I'm loving every minute of this. How can one of the greatest counties in the country self destruct themselves in such a short period of time. It is truly amazing to watch. Sell your property now while you can. Monkey County MD and Fairfax will be ghettos in 15-20 years, if not sooner.

Your schools are being overrun by ESL poors and Section 8 dwellers. Your stores cater to EBT receiptients, your daughters are being inseminated by nogs and other trash. Your neighborhoods are "embracing diversity", while, in fact, they are embracing failure much like the third-world and inner-city garbage they are "embracing".

My neighborhood has a very nice level of diversity. We love it!

Hey - my homies gotta go where the money is - and that be those rich muthas in Great Falls. I'm gonna get me a free section 8 house and set up shop.

The Town of Vienna has enough low-income housing already. Patrick St. and the aptly named Locust St. are enough, thank you very much.

Do you work? I sincerely doubt that you have any abilities that are valued by any employer.

Lots of room left on Route 7 to put in some Section 8 apartments - perfect for getting into Tyson's Corner as well as Colvin Run and Spring Hill elementary schools. Once those schools go TITLE 1, Janie Strauss can claim she's lowered class size. Ah... she's brilliant.

Read the answer that Janie Strauss gave to question 3 in the Connection:

http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2015/oct/19/dranesville-school-board-candidate-janie-strauss/

"We must also urge the Board of Supervisors to avoid as much as possible, housing patterns that tend to over- concentrate high poverty in certain regions."

"3. How will you address the growing economic divide in county schools?

#All schools regardless of the socio economic background of the surrounding community must have the needed resources to sustain high standards, employ excellent teachers and offer all students a rigorous well rounded, rich curriculum."

That's deniably true.

"We must also urge the Board of Supervisors to avoid as much as possible, housing patterns that tend to over- concentrate high poverty in certain regions."

It's a no-brainer: To address the growing economic divide in county schools, we must:

1) Provide all schools the needed resources to sustain high standards, employ excellent teachers and offer all students a rigorous well rounded, rich curriculum; and,

2) Avoid as much as possible, housing patterns that tend to over- concentrate high poverty in certain regions.

Why is this at all controversial?

I will definitely vote for Janie Strauss!

It's be great if the wealthy socialist limo lib douchebags had to live next door to the vermin they pretend to love.

The Janie Strauss and Pat Hynes comments dovetail with the new HUD regulation called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/421389/attention-americas-suburbs-you-have-just-been-annexed-stanley-kurtz

HUD is really gung-ho about sprinkling low-income housing across regions.

http://www.huduser.gov/publications/pdf/affht_userFriendlyGuide.pdf

Two years ago, Fairfax County's zoning staff tried to push through a proposal to waive normal zoning rules for developers who built low-income housing Residential Studio Units, which the zoning people called RSUs. The Supervisors killed it.

http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/planning/rsu/rsu.htm

HUD's been after Westchester County for years, trying to get it to build affordable housing in upscale communities. HUD's view is that Westchester County is racist.

HUD's bureaucrats really have gone after Westchester County. Imagine what they'll do when they pay closer attention to Fairfax County.

http://mamaroneckreview.com/court-hud-can-withhold-funds-from-county/

Just like how Arlington County puts a vast majority of their low-income housing in South Arlington (south of Route 50, basically).

Same thing.

The north arlingtonians are all NIMBY about it and want diversity- just not in "their" side of town!!! They only want them to be "of service" as far as working in their local shops as clerks and cleaning their houses and other low-wage positions, but want them all to catch the bus back to South Arlington (or here to Fairfax County) to live.

Read about the case from a source less biased than the NY Post.

Westchester County's response to HUD's requests was wholly inadequate, the county wouldn't work with HUD, so HUD had no choice but to sue.

PS - The Westchester case have nothing to do with locating low-income housing in high income neighborhoods.

Fairfax Taxpayer -

It is difficult to speak to the truth. Ok, I get it, it is a nice thought to provide all schools with the needed resources, provide a rigorous well rounded and excellent curriculum, and of course, excellent teachers.

The reality:

Most of the recent immigrants have cognitive abilities far below that of the long time, middle class residents in Fairfax County. I know, I know, you will be voting for Janie Strauss. But how many people with 75 IQ's do you or Janie routinely interact with? I doubt many. It is a very different world than the one you inhabit, especially in terms of future time orientation, memory, and analytic abilities. The idea of expending resources is a nice thought but the racial achievement gap has not been closed anywhere in the country, including Fairfax, despite the expenditure of billions of dollars. The cognitive gaps are real, and so are the problems which arise when you put the 75 IQ kids in the classroom with the 120 or higher IQ kids. Standards lower, behaviors are worse, and that is just the way it is. The Straussian bromides do not change this result. Perhaps re-introducing very structured tracking would help, but that would bring charges of de facto segregation. I don't blame middle class parents for their fears, but it is unfortunate no one can talk honestly about the cognitive gap which drives these problems.

Excellent teachers? I support FCPS on this score. They typically are competent, if not better. But if you want a diverse teaching force, good luck. Blacks in particular have a hugely difficult task in passing the licensure exams. Perhaps you could lower the passing scores (and that may be the right thing to do based on the data), but the problem in lowering the passing scores is that it interrupts the narrative (held by both liberals and conservatives) that we need excellent teachers. (It is easier for minority students to get into a law school than to pass a licensure exam). Again, you can overlook the cognitive skills gap and pretend it will all work out, but the gap exists, has not closed since the civil rights era, and is the Voldemort problem no one can acknowledge.

As to housing concentration, it is undeniable that Section 8 and public housing brings with it high volumes of crime and uncivil behavior. Some academics object to this, claiming that the crime would have occurred anyway due to neighborhood changes, and are loathe to deem housing programs as the cause. But to someone living in or near those neighborhoods, the academic distinction between correlation and causation is meaningless. There is simply far more crime when Section 8 and public housing arrives.

Look, I am not blaming Strauss or any other candidate. If any candidate expressed the views I have just expressed, well, they would stand no chance of election, or with the gooey, emotional press. But don't kid yourself, the cognitive shortcomings of a growing part of the school population are real, they are made worse by the kill and drill testing regime, they cause an imbalance in teacher diversity, and clearly make, despite shibboleths to the contrary, the schools a less attractive place for the focused, bright and ambitious (although someone like you could argue this group will find a way to do well no matter what, especially since there are most often two caring parents involved).

In any event, some food for thought.

If you don't like it, then feel free to move. Most of you are carpetbaggers anyway.

I don't want to move. I've lived here for 35 years and my parents have lived here even longer. I've worked hard to afford to live here and send my children to good schools. With these types of low-income housing policies advocated by the Supervisors and Janie Strauss, I don't think my grandchildren will ever have the same, quality education my own children have received.

Then vote against Strauss, not that it will matter.

The children of the people who you don't want sitting beside your children in class are already here and there are more coming every day. There will be no avoiding the change this will bring.

If change occurs around you, whether or not you welcome that change, you have two choices: Adapt or flee.

The one thing that you absolutely, positively will be unable to do is stop change from happening.

You should have more concern about global climate than the school system. You can't learn if you can't breathe.
Besides, there always the private school consortium.

Mexico thinks its great right now

Scaremongering.

Outside of the Tysons area it isn't likely to happen. If you have a limited amount of land to develop, it makes more sense for the developer to build "by right" high profit single family residences than to build multi-family housing. The reason you are seeing low income multi-family units in Tysons, Merrifield and a few other spots is that you already have developers seeking to build multi-family housing units in those areas, and the county can leverage that to get the developer to set aside some of those units for low income housing.

The more likely threat at the moment is that developers may convince the County to allow them to build low income housing units in areas of the County already heavily burdened with low income residents in return for favorable zoning arrangements in more affluent areas. Sort of a win (for the developer)-win (for the high income neighborhood)-win (for the county getting additional low income housing)-fuck you (for the neighborhood burdened with yet more low income residents) arrangement. That is what was driving the RSU proposal from last year.

I'm a 30-something who moved to McLean from the Falls Church/Bailey's Crossroads area for a reason. I don't need any of these government people screwing up my property values with this low-income housing crap. I also don't want to see Route 7 become another Route 1. Been there done that too. There is a reason people are willing to pay more to live in a nice place. Who exactly is supporting this so I can vote against them?

Tell this to Jesus. He might give a damn.
Not a sermon but just sound advice.

For starters MY VIEW - the players supporting these policies in our local area are:

OBAMA and his HUD Department
BOS Chair Sharon BUlova
Supervisor John Foust
School Board Member Jane Strauss

and all the liberal Democrats in this county along with the Democrats from the other Fairfax County districts who serve on the BOS and School Board.

This is a very important local election. Don't let these people ruin our property values.

When the low-income housing studio units proposal was on the table, one of the three Republicans on the Board of Supervisors - John Cook - was more supportive than John Foust, who opposed it.

Makes sense...As the land values in places like Tysons Corner, Great Falls, and McLean are too high to gamble on building low-income housing there.

For all this: DEMOCRATS on the Federal State and Local Level.

Keep the border WIDE OPEN! Diversity ! Your children and Grands, Great Grands and all forever after are all screwed! Thank You Democrats for Fucking Up what was a GREAT Country!

Complete Bullshit. Tell yourself you will not accept this any more. Stand Up and VOTE Democrats the Hell out of this area! This State , This Nation..

For people on both sides take a look at Annandale High School and the performance of the school

Some of the downward slide was due to taking some of the more affluent neighborhoods out of the district but the trend line is undeniable

Also at a macro level Montgomery County is about five-ten years ahead of us in terms of dealing with major demographic shifts

This is the future we are headed towards county wide

This may have partly described what would have happened in 2013. That was before the new HUD Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation. Bill N.'s summary does not describe what will happen to Fairfax County in the future.

HUD will use its new regulation to force counties to do whatever it takes to create ensure that previously middle and upper-income neighborhoods are sprinkled with low-income housing. That includes using government funds to buy up land or existing buildings at market rates, then reselling or renting them at below-market prices to low-income minority tenants or purchasers.

Anything to take your minds off of the serious issues that's gonna change everything. But hey, who am I to post as an anonymous troll?

I am so happy that my kids have already matriculated thru FCPS when they did and are out living their adult lives (with one settled in for the moment in Alexandria). Thankfully they got to avoid this whole mess that's inevitable.

I cannot wait 'til the day I can retire away to ANY place other than this hellhole.

A intelligent adult would be "already gone" if this hellhole is intolerable. You must be hung up on your capitalistic expectations to live everyday in misery.
Just make sure you stay alive long enough to find your paradise.

Pat Hynes and Janie Strauss on the School Board think this is a good idea. They are entitled to their opinions. Maybe a majority of the voters agree with them.

HUD believes that the way to "close the achievement gap" is to ensure that every neighborhood has the same percentage of low-income and minority students as the overall metropolitan area in which it is located. Fairfax County is filing the HUD-mandated report with information that HUD will use in the future to achieve this goal.

It warms my cockles to know I'll be retiring soon after my last graduates from FCPS. While I feel I paid enough in taxes for using the services my family used, I won't be paying extra for more than a couple years. Then I'm outta here. Good luck replacing my tax revenue on my salary north of $300K and property taxes on a $850K house. It will take 20 illegals to make up that difference and they'll take 10 times as much out of the system for services.

Yeah Fairfax, good luck with that indeed.

Nope, it's all true. $300K income isn't all that great (two GS15's make that). If you bought a $300K house 20 years ago, you too would be living in a $850K house today. Sucks for you that these moderate levels of income and house value seem so unattainable. Great for me though. Great indeed.

I'm Janie's stooge on all things FCPS for the Great Falls and Mclean area. You'll know me by the stupid shorts and the out-of-date penny loafers with no socks that I wear all year round. Anyway, I can tell all you readers here - in confidence - that Janie would love to stick it to all you rich people! I finally talked her out of trying to redistrict Great Falls to Herndon high school, but I don't think I'll be able to talk her out the HUD, low-income proposal. If it has a big fat liberal, Obama stamp on it - well TEAM JANIE is all over it! My influence only goes so far people. But since I live here, I sort of care too.

Pretty funny. And accurate, too.

I'm sure anything and everything near the Silver Line will be suitable sites for a new ghetto.

My property taxes almost tripled the past 3 years because school system is $100M in the hole (i have no kids), Silver Line metro (which I live nowhere near, but was incorporated into that district) and EZ-pass which I will never use.

Big thanks to all the FuckTardz who run this county. Oh yeah, VDOT has a special place in my heart too.

So will everyone else with an IQ above 80. It's quite a different demographic that we have to deal with here, however.

Your argument is less than compelling. If our schools weren't falling apart, scores were raising and classrooms sizes were manageable with a budget of over $2 billion a year, keeping what we've got might make sense. But alas, they are falling apart, scores are tanking and class sizes are too big and growing. The current board, like your post, have failed horribly in a crash and burn of epic proportion.

LOL! NoVa is an excellent and increasingly popular retirement destination. In fact, BankRate rates Arlington the second best city in the US to retire to (after Phoenix). Moderate climate. Low taxes. Public transit. Unbeatable medical, cultural, and environmental amenities. All you need to be able to deal with here is the cost of living. Meanwhile, you've no idea how much worse these other areas you have in mind will turn out to be once you get there! Can you say "rude awakening"?

Our schools would be in far worse shape with Republicans at the helm.

See Texas & Kansas.

You aren't fooling anyone. Actual GS-15's don't think or talk the way you do. People like you are never promoted to such a level. They are sent to sensitivity training instead. You won't be hard to replace at all, so do us all a favor and take an early retirement. The sooner you are out of here, the better.

What the fuck is BankRate? I've never seen Washington DC or NoVa in any list of the best places to retire. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Check out Forbes, Kiplinger, USNewsandWorldReport, AARP. None of them have anything near DC. You find some obscure site, apparently tied to banks that ranks Arlington for the same reason that it's a good place for anyone to live there. You then you discount the cost of living, which is way too high for most retirees.

How easily the ones with the IQ's below 80 are duped. We've done the research -- we know that these people you love to hate are a threat to you because you fear that so many of them may actually be your betters. You might well be onto something there.

good thing they opened up that gun store in Vienna!

Yes, the nigs, mexicans and libs are easily duped. We've manipulated the results of your research to fool you once again. And like good little brain-dead pawns, you play your part in our global chess match. And like all pawns, you'll be quickly and easily sacrificed soon. Very soon indeed.

You're as dumb as a stick. FCPS was stuck like a pig by both the state and the county during the Great Recession that moron right-wingers gifted us with. That dark cloud has been substantially cleared, but the missing funds have not been put back. The state needs to lay off with the austerity nonsense and the county needs to add at least several extra cents to the real estate tax rates and turn 100% of the new revenue over to FCPS until isuch time as it can get back to where it was a decade ago.

Yawn. You'll get your bonds passed. The sheeple will see to it. You, on the other hand, should die quickly to save us from any more of your boring ramblings.

LOL. What a retard. Thinking GS-15's are something special. Who the hell thinks anyone in the government is some higher class of anything. What a fucking, moronic retard you are. Now swallow that fact with a piping hot cup of shut the fuck up.

As was noted, the cost-of living is the only down-side to the area. You may end up being squeezed out by that, but a great many retirees would be apt to have more in the way of resources set aside than you would seem to.

The fact remains that NoVa is an increasingly attractive retirement destination.

Sorry, still wrong. Again, who/what the fuck is Bankrate? Everyone has heard of Forbes, Money Magazine, Kiplingers, AARP. Why should anyone give a shit about some never-heard-of site? Can you answer that question or not?

And cost of living is everything when it comes to retirement. While 'a great many' might have saved up money, all studies show most Americans don't have enough. Use the google genius and see for yourself. Search 'not enough savings retirement'.

It appears the typical stupid shit is still and will continue to be YOU.

Bonds support capital projects, dumbass. The problems are in the operating budget that's seen cut after cut and then nothing restored despite the improving times.

You can't drive a Cadillac for the price of a Yugo, but a lot of right-wingers are just plain too dumb to figure that out.

I would guess that nearly all of them would be of a higher class than you. More intelligent. Better educated. Better read. More aware of the world. All that sort of stuff.
