Fairfax County Is Going Down The Drain Wash Post Article
Posted by: Told You So Over and Over ()
Date: April 03, 2016 02:22PM

From the Wash Post :https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-news/this-model-of-wealthy-suburban-living-is-starting-to-fray/2016/04/02/e9ad0ace-f107-11e5-a61f-e9c95c06edca_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_frayingfairfax-935pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

And yes as the commenters said, Fairfax County has been firmly under Democrat control now for decades.

More and more Illegals Needed here ASAP There are too many jobs, too many opportunities, Too many Doctors, Teachers, Hospitals, Housing. No one is graduation from High School, From College. There are no young Americans starting out on their own..

More immigrants needed ASAP Democrats need to get the job of destroying America done by 2025 !

AMERICA FIRST!

The Post blamed it on the old, poor and 'diverse'. Once PW sent all the spics scurrying over to Fairfax around 2004, this county has gone in the shitter big-time. According to the article, 1/6 of the county's school kids need english as a second language help. One in six!

And they concluded by saying at some point, those who can leave will leave and several people, including BOS folks, said where approaching the tipping point where that will start happening.

Been here all my life (over 40 years). This place has never sucked as bad as it does now. I'll stay here till I retire and then getting out of here as fast as I can.

Fairfax County: another once-great place that carpetbagging libtards have ruined.

Our two kids grew up in Fairfax. One got a six-figure salary out of college, working for her top choice employer. The other got into her top choice graduate program. Both are products of the lowly FCPS that posters like to rant about. Many of their friends have similar stories. (Some of them even have dark skin, if you can believe that!) When I read the whining posts, I usually conclude that it says more about the posters than FCPS or Fairfax County in general.

The first two posts here are incoherent. At least I learned something: I did not know Tom Davis was a Democrat when he was County Supervisor. Whatever.

Your kids grew up here....past tense....school in the 1990's was different than now...do not deny the fact that the brain drain from illegals, and others looking to suck off your tax dollars has not weakened the County

Apparently, you should have learned something along the lines of simple arithmetic. Tom Davis hasn't been on the county board of supervisors since 1994.

2016-1994=22

22 > 2 decades.

With your math skills, can you say for certain your offspring is making six figures? You can't seem to count to 22, so it's not a given you can count to 6. Are you a product if the FCPS per chance?

When did your kids gradaute? Was it recently?

Given that she is making "6 figure salary and got her top choice employer out of college" I'm guessing not.

The School Board and FCPS leadership is very much part of the problem of why Fairfax County is declining. Since they are more concerned on pissing money away on the helping the illegals then American born kids or legal immigrants to this country. Not to mention Transgender bathrooms, or highly paid "consultants", or the lavish Gatehouse HQ in Falls Church.

I went through FCPS myself for Elementary/Middle school some 15 years ago and most of my peers where ether middle or upper middle class white, Korean, or Indian kids. Now that same school I went to is now largely South of the Border with most getting free lunch and ESL.

Hell it was even getting bad then with the large numbers of students in ESL, classes in trailers, and teachers stretched thin by it all.

I can't imagine how bad it is now.

Fairfax overall is approaching the same point MoCo did 20 years ago and is in steady decline against places like Loudoun County which don't have the problems or Democratic control like Fairfax does to weigh it down.

I grew up in Springfield in the 1970's. I had the same experience as your 2 kids.

The difference is...I didn't have to share that experience with more than 5% non-white peers. The diversity in Fairfax County coupled with the arrival of METRO back in the 90's is appalling, horrific and has contributed greatly to this area's fall from a somewhat, liveable and affordable suburban environment to a third-world shit hole.

It's Great Falls, some parts of McLean and then...there's the REST of Fairfax County.

There has to be a balance. I grew up in North Arlington and we were diverse too but there were not as many hispanics as there are now! Back then in the 80s and 90s we had the right balance. Now there are so many that come here and don't understand or accept the culture. This includes any foreigner.

Fairfax will be like Montgomery in five years. MC was always the first or second richest county in the 80's. Then they started giving everything away to the illegals. The fall from first to about 20 was swift and fast.

You will never be able to throw enough money at the schools to educate and teach another language to all these anchor babies and border jumpers. And the ones who speak English suffer being held back by the slow learning future gang members.

Isn't diversity great?

Nicely put. They need to quit making things so pleasant for these people.
They get the basics, which are enough right there to suck us dry.
If they realize that they aren't going to get a lovely free ride in Fairfax, maybe they will go somewhere else and quit flocking here for the handouts.

These people come to one of the most affluent counties in the United States and then complain about how they can't afford to live here. Well, DUH!

The Washington Post writers are all morons.

The problem isn't the "budget cuts".

The problem is the misspending by the local Democrats of the hard-earned taxes paid by some of the smartest people in the world.

Our taxes go up, and the quality of our life goes down.

Due to Democrat proclivity to kill babies in utero (sometimes by piercing the brain with a sharp point, causing the baby much pain), and that so many of them are LBGTQrstuvwxyz, they don't reproduce, and perhaps the entirety of the Democrat party will just disappear in a generation.

Yawn. Already proven to be liberal bullshit many times on this site. It's a GOP congress, usually coupled with a democrat president, that controls government spending and grows the economy.

http://www.newspressnow.com/news/local_news/article_5963f994-e542-51b6-aa3d-185fb4129bcc.html

Fairfax has so much of this kind of thing going on that it is only a matter of time before it makes the news as a model of profligate spending.

Nardos King, formerly of MVHS, hired him but decided not to ask him back. Why wasn't he checked out more thoroughly BEFORE money was spent? But, in the meantime, we have schools with planetariums that don't work, but the park employees have iPads. Sweet.

Flippen is Dutch for "$10,000/hour speaking fee" and "Flip" is the gesture you get if you question it.

FCPS. Dying by a thousand flips, another flip in the wall. We may not need no education, but we need those social contracts.

"Czerwonka," by the way, is Polish for "very good at spending tax money on unqualified consultants."

It is hard to grasp exactly what the Post was saying. On the one hand, it's all gloom and doom, infrastructure failing...FAILING. Quality of life won't be far behind, tsk, tsk. On the other, having built McMansions out to the county line and successfully and intentionally sprawled the peripheral areas with lookalike subdivisions and strip malls, the builders are now buying and knocking down houses closer in, at a furious pace. The purchase price for a knockdown in our neighborhood starts around $600,000 and can go up over $800,000. Then a 4,000-5,000 house is built on the lot. The package costs the purchaser $1.2 million and up, depending on bells, whistles, and frou-frou. This is hard to reconcile with an alleged state of general decline, citizens and civic leaders alike wandering about in fugue states, bemoaning the collapse of both bridges and suburban civilization. Unless, of course, the buyers of the $1 million+ homes are both very well situated financially, and simultaneously impervious to all the signs of decline and fall.

It's not hard to grasp exactly what the Post is saying. Too many Fairfax taxpayers have a story like this:

When Tammi and William DeVan moved to Magnolia Lane in Baileys Crossroads 15 years ago, they enjoyed sitting on their wide front porch on quiet nights.

But as the neighborhood has drawn an influx of lower-income residents, their children’s schools have grown more crowded. Recently, a local store was robbed. The view from the porch now includes discarded beer bottles from loiterers who gather to drink in their cars after dark.

“A lot of people still think Fairfax County is wealthy, and maybe it is, compared to Oklahoma or someplace,” Tammi DeVan said. “But it’s not what it was.”

Horseshit!

The photo below is of Tammi and Billy's house.

Do you honestly think that there are beer-drinking loiterers discarding beer bottles on the street in that neighborhood?

Scroll over a couple of blocks and post what the houses look like.

I know that neighborhood. It's now basically a small American outpost in the middle of Central America.

Peer reviewed study from an accredited university. Do you have a peer reviewed study that refutes it?

Nothing lasts forever. Fairfax County was once beautiful country inhabited by Native Americans with an abundance of wildlife to sustain life.
Nowadays, a sewer system is the only thing that keeps the county from turning into a shithole.

Fairfax County is still evolving, so it is impossible to determine how the Fairfax zeitgeist will end up. Taking a look at other significant jurisdictions may be instructive. Urban areas experience different atmospherics as their economies go from prosperity through hard times and, eventually, we hope, back to prosperity. Fairfax County will have its ups and downs, certainly. Nevertheless, the fortunate co-location with the Federal government will smooth out a lot of bumps as the salaries of SES, GS-15s and 14s have a flywheel effect that carries the area economy when other parts of the country are suffering economic contraction and layoffs.

Oh I just love living in my townhouse neighborhood the past few years here in western Fairfax Co. It's heaven with all the illegals and camel jockeys living 6 to 8 people in two bedroom town homes. Waking me up in the middle of the night with their noisy piece of shit cars adorned with stolen license plates, no drivers license, no liability insurance. The Modello and Corona beer bottles, used condoms, and half eaten bags of fast food thrown all over the place. Stepping dog shit if I want to walk around the common areas during the daylight hours and having to carry a handgun if I want to walk my dog after sunset. Yea, this is just fucking great!

I was born and raised right here in Fairfax Co. Over the past 50 years I have seen this place turn into the complete shit hole that it now is. You can thank the hundreds of millions of dollars in Section 8 housing subsidies dolled out hand over fist ever year by the Democratic controlled Board of Supervisors (8 Dems vs. 2 Repbubs). Also. thanks to motor voter registration these assholes will be voting themselves more free shit this November. I can't wait to retire and get the fuck out of this "Sanctuary City".

And the Republicans with their tried and tested cut taxes for the rich and increase Defense Spending will equal a balanced budget. Supply side economics. Insane then. Insane now. No new thoughts in 35 years. Need a third party for the middle class.

Agreed,

I grew up in Fairfax as well and have seen how "diversity" has dragged this area down.

I was reading about PWC Chair Corey Stewart and how crime has fallen in Prince William by 40% under his leadership. Gee I wonder why?!

At the end of the day though, all the libtard transplants from New Jersey and Maryland who live in Fairfax County deserve everything they get for electing people like Sharon Bulova, Gerry Connolly, Kathy Smith, Dan Storock, and Ryan McEleeven.

Considering that none of these people want to enforce our immigration laws

And if they are one of the few white families in Baily's still sending their kids to public schools, those kids spend their days helping the non-English speakers survive.

Celebrate diversity!
