“I went ape schiff in a meeting over rezoning that had to occur to allow section 8 housing.”
They tried to do this when I lived in liberal Bethesda, MD. Libs and I went nuts. Didn’t happen cuz it was a lib area already. (It would have been right across the street from my house!)
Northern VA seemed to turn when it became a sanctuary area. Fraud voters for freebies.
I attribute NoVa's turn to three things. I watched it happen starting back in the 90's when I did consulting work in Reston, Herdon and Dulles. First thing was an influx of H1B Visa types, fueled by the likes of AOL and other high tech companies. Second was all the urban planning and mixed housing, by mixed I mean poor folk living next to middle class folk. Of course, rich people wouldn't allow that happed to them. Third, was the massive expansion of government. I suppose there is a fourth that I could tack on that I saw in places like Fairfax City. There was a huge migration on illegals. It moved like the plague out towards Leesburg by the time I stopped working in that area.
