Over 1 million which would make the City of Fairfax County if that could and should happen one of the top 12 largest cities in the US the largest by far in Virginia. Pop. is about 1 million 100 thousand and it was yesterday it hit 1 million.

Brian S. what are your thoughts of a City of Fairfax County or what ever people want to call it with a elected Mayor? Some one who would be in charge instead of a lame B.O.S government better suited for a rural county. I've been around here since 1970.

"it was yesterday"? Not picking a fight, just confused.

It's interesting how many cities *proper* are small -- check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population and Fairfax would be right up there.

OTOH, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas lists metro area populations, and Fairfax would be #50 or so.

Any way you cut it, it's an urban area.

We have a "mayor". It is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors - Currently Sharon Bullova.

Designation as a city would provide Fairfax County with a variety of additional revenue options. The county could diversify the revenue base and reduce the level of real estate taxes on property owners.

Also -- the whole concept of a county in Virginia is for rural (not dense) areas. With a population of 1.1 million FFX County is larger than 8 entire states, plus D.C. We could qualify to be a state. We should at least be a city.

Have to work out the naming conflict with the existing Fairfax City...

Count everybody who lives in the county except me, and then add one to that number, and there's your answer.

Ha! Indeed. Though I was actually looking this up a few days ago, unrelated to Fairfax, wondering about the size of another city--and said "That can't be right!", then realized that metro > city proper. The metro number was more in line with what I'd been expecting.

That’s right. The County would have to change their name.

For my answer Brian , Things you already know, Others may not.


A Mayor is a chief executive of a city government elected by the people and accountable to them on election day.A full time job 24/7 responsible for carrying out the day to day duties of the city government. Not a hired County Executive who dances to the orders of a number of elected board members and has to bend to the prevailing political winds to keep their job.

Mayor's have the ability to hire and fire senior officials. Something that is missing in Fairfax County . The Chair of the Board of Supervisors may set the agenda, but they have no more authority then any other board member by themselves which is zero. The Chair of the Board is not a "Mayor" in any way.
Not even close.

In a city the Board of Supervisors is replaced with a elected city council. The city council members set the rules of law of a city and approve the budget of the mayor. They may also confirm certain city job appointments by the mayor.

Cities in Virginia can keep more tax revenues then counties. This means more money for what ever the mayor and city council agree on.

Fairfax County has sent many millions down to Richmond over the years. In some ways that has been good for Virginia, Look around at some counties in Virginia and see new school construction that has been paid for in some degree with money for Fairfax County. I will say thats good for Virgina but Fairfax could also use some of that money.

For a clear example of a city vs a county look at the city of Va Beach , they have 7 indoor rec centers with gyms, exercise rooms, handball, pools, very nice facilities as we have in Fairfax with the 9 indoor Fairfax County Rec centers,but in The City of Va Beach a years pass is about 90 dollars for a single adult pass and here in Fairfax its 550 dollars. Thats what the people there want and they have the city income to support it. Plus money for schools, police, fire, libraries,landfills you name it.

Now Brian, tell us what is so great about a Board of Supervisors part time government with a appointed county executive for a very urban county with a population of over 1 million people and growing by the day?

IF Fairfax could become a city, it would remedy the problems with Hampton Roads. The Tax Revenue would stay here in this area. A city does not need a County, or need to be in a county. Manassas Park was the last Jurisdiction in the state to become a city and it has a Population of roughly 22,000. There is also the subject of there already being a Fairfax City and they don't want to give that up. Don't quote me but I think there are other areas the NEW CITY would have to pick up and would loose and additional revenue the State currently provides.

The City of Fairfax County. Keep our tax revenue here! Screw the rest of Virginia, they have been stealing our tax dollars and laughing about it for years. I don't mind contributing our fair share but really only 9 cents on the dollar returned for every one we send down state is financial rape.

Whether Fairfax County should become a city is debatable, but there is no question that Arlington should be a city. It is the most densely populated jurisdiction in the state.
