69.a When you see houses that are ten feet from one of the most heavily traveled roads in the area during rush hour, thereby preventing any reasonable attempt to widen the road to two lanes and end an impassable bottleneck.

/whatever happened to "imminent domain", they were totally willing to cut hundreds of houses out of the way for the parkway when it was built, I guess that must have rubbed a few heads wrong.

72. When you do something blatantly and unquestionably illegal with a group of friends that consists of 1) the son of a DEA agent, 2) the son of the chief justice of the Fairfax County General District Court, 3) the son of an FBI agent, 4) the son of a secret service agent, and 5) an aide to George HW Bush, and the police don't know how to handle the situation, so they just back off quietly and go away. I mean, they don't say anything, but just get back in their cars and drive away. All six cops. Practically squeal wheels to get away.

73. When you get harrassed by the police for sleeping in your car, at 17, with beer cans all over your car, in some non-descript dead end street, and you tell them that you are waiting to pick up so-and-so to go to Kings Dominion, who happens to be the son of the chief justice of the general district court, and the police say, "oh, well, sorry to bother you, have a nice morning" and drive away.

78. You're not shocked to see people merge onto a highway and immediately go directly to the left lane, and then go either AT or below the posted speed limit.

79. Everyone you see on the road doesn't use a turn signal

80. Turning left onto another road into the left lane, and then signalling and turning into the right line, as is proscribed in driving manuals, is unusual, if not unheard of. Turning into the farthest lane is easier when you are on a cell phone, even though it is illegal.

"77. You've sat behind someone who believes it is their god-given duty to drive in the left lane, matching the speed of the car in the right lane, even though they are both driving 10 mph under the posted speed limit."

105. So in an attempt to deal with #77, you drop back a bit until the left lane dick slows down a bit, opening a gap, through which you accelerate at wide-open-throttle passing the left lane dick on the right, until you are now in front of the left-lane-dick at 20MPH over the speed limit who is now riding your ass because they speed up to try to keep you from passing. So you hit your brakes hard and slow down to 10MPH over the speed limit and the left lane dick dives into the right lane where they should have been all along.

106. The left lane dick is invariably driving a Toyota, usually a Camry.

107. The left lane dick's camry, unacustomed to driving the speed limit, breaks down, and if you are lucky, moves to the shoulder. However, the rest of the left lane dicks feel that it is there god-given duty to slow to a 15 mph crawl to observe a fellow LLD changing a tire and calling the police., thus backing up the highway for 10 miles.

You make more money per year than 90% of the people in the U.S., and you can only afford to live in a shitty run-down townhouse built 40 years ago.

You've lived in a shitty run-down townhouse for the last 5 years, and have never met your neighbors.

- You can leave the area, come back in ten years, and you will see the very same construction taking place on the beltway.

- You actually thought your salary offer was amazing, until you moved down here.

lol

I once got offered a job in new york city making 50k a year, back when I was making 24 a year (1998ish). I thought I had hit the jackpot, until I (luckily) got curious about rent and cost of day-to-day living and realized it was insane and 50k would not cover living within the city... I guess it's getting to be the same way around here. I'd be a pauper right now if I wasn't in a two-income household.

Yeah, 50k a year is nothing if you plan on living in the city. I'm from NY myself, grew up about 30min north of the Bronx. 50k a year up around my hometown would be decent, but still nothing great.

When I got the offer to come down here (60k a year), I thought I hit the jackpot as well. I admit I probably didn't do as much homework about the area as I should have, but oh well. Being in a long-distance relationship for the time being doesn't help much either.

You need at least six figures to have a comparable standard of living here compared to other parts of the country. I don't know how people making $20K to $40K in this area make it.

FCPS is responsible for getting 110,000 kids home safely, so yeah, high winds can cause early releases. Downed trees in Clifton/Fairfax Station alone can cause havoc with the buses. And the threat to students walking from bus stops from falling limbs/power lines is real.

You people laughing would be the first to be calling lawyers if your kid gets hurt while in FCPS custody.

The administrators that make the closing/early release decisions are truly damned if they do, damned if they don't. They have a couple hundred thousand monday morning quarterbacks.

And nobody can forget the winter morning a few years ago...they opened the schools when they shouldn't have...and wrecked 40 buses in less than an hour.

i wasnt complaining about their decision.

the day when all the buses crashed was in 2005. february i think, not 100% on that.

The only reason i was concerned about the wind day was becuase it seems to me that a school bus is a relativly large vehicle with a lot of surface area and high center of grav. I can see putting the students from trailers and etc, inside, that is smart. However sending students home early, in the wind, i dont know the reasoning behind that but the bus or walking home , to me, doesnt seem the smarted place to be in a wind storm.

BTW, the windstorm was either april 16 or 17. i remember there were about 2000 reporters swarming Cville HS b/c it had just been announced Cho sung-asian was from centreville, but not westfield HS. and the kids were coming out early and the reporters were there filming it all, calling the school and etc.

There is an earthquake and you think it's just artillery practice at Quantico again.

A trip from Marumsco Plaza to Nottingdale now takes 45 minutes instead of the 20 minutes it took 15 years ago.

PWC uses eminent domain to build lux housing and a "town center" by condemning undeveloped land.

PWC builds houses so close together that you could have a community dinner without leaving your house.

You can not leave your neighborhood in any direction without passing a shopping center containing a haircuttery, grocery store,nail salon, ABC store and fast foodjoint. Seriously-do they have a template for these things-they all look alike.

There are lines of little girls who want to be girl scouts and NO PARENTS want to become leaders. So the parents stand around and complain because they can't be bothered to do the work to give their girls the experience they want them to have.

The police have raided a house on your street at least 3 times.

Someone in your apartment complex used an illegal grill and set the roof on fire.

You live in an apartment complex with a wierdo who has taken their family memebers hostage and you can't go home that night. And you're not worried because you already have a plan and an alternate place to stay. And a packed bag in the car-complete with toothbrush and snacks.

You do not make eye contact with anyone-ever.

Should you need an estimate for home repair and you have to go with the guy who shows up. The other four just never show up.

You keep a bag of stuff to do in the car for the 9 hour emergency room wait. Unless you're justthisclose to dead-they just don't have time to see you.

You know where there is a government safehouse in your neighborhood.

No one talks about the interesting crap they see at various public places-because they don't want to get taken out for witnessing a drop or an actual crime.

You are angry with shows like NCIS because their version of here is soooooooooo way better than here.

One of your classmates dings up her car on the way to school and her daddy has a new one delivered to the school parking lot-before lunch.

You get all the dirt on the president cuz your classmates parents are secret service agents.

When you leave town and people stop to let you cross the street and you do not know what to do. Too used to people trying to run you over.

The kids can't ever go outside because PWC has sprayed for mosquitos- and that stuff makes your kids break out in rashes and develop asthma.

you are an educated woman but look for a rich man because you are too damn lazy to work, clean a home, or cook a meal. you want to be a stay at home mom but invest your resources into making the school system help your kid because it cuts into your salon time. you consider networking manipulating your children's friendships to serve your own agenda.

your asserting these are signs of fx co gov is WRONG. the 1980's fx co gov would have put people in prison for what's going on

it's the democrats using favoritism and tax money

when you've been held virtual prisoner for several years.

you go out finally and see democrats have changed all stores that sold almost exclusively (many exclusively) made in USA products to made in china.

you notice while several years ago there were few mexicans and asian - that now they've apparently been robbing banks and government becasue they're damn everywhere. go to the mall it's as if your in asia and at a tourist area mostly mexicans go to: as if your not in the USA

it's either that or democrats have been counterfeiting not the foreingers, and have been using that for imports and free labor

either way if your used to seeing america in fairfax, have been illegally held for years, and years later walk out the door to see your in a fucking different country and it's full of MOLES.

90% of Made in America is made by illegals who smell like tortillas ass and detergent, ask any bluecollar American trying to get a factory job. They run a scam of hiring a hodge podge group of citizens then in a week or so say they're all magically inefficient and so fire them all while the Mexican trolls work drunk, don't follow build as per the specifications, and don't care about fixing broken equipment or product quality. Think about that next time have to return a cabinet from Home Depot or Lowes.

You spend several days speculating on internal social media about getting a day off instead of actually working. And the worst part is you probably will not even give a passing thought to George H. W. Bush on your day off. Enjoy your time at the mall

Yep I went to Fairfax but can hear the football games from Centreville High School from my house. I went to Centreville Elementary but I guess they changed the boundaries for my neighborhood around 5th grade. Kind of sucks because I never saw those people from Centreville Elementary again.

And what's funny is you never hear anyone say DELMARVA anymore. 30+ years ago it was used all the time in news, especially weather reports. Probably haven't heard anyone use that term in over 20 years.

There's no need to live in Northern Virginia just because the jobs are here. A guy I work with does live in SW Virginia and flies up to work in his plane. He parks it in Manassas and has a small townhouse to stay in during the week.

Now that everyone is working from home there is more incentive to move away. When things open up there will be a lot more teleworking and 1-3 days a week in the office will be common.

Without the NOVA job, there’s no plane and no house them there hills.

He could sell Meth down there and make a fraction of his salary here and try to survive though.

Defense/IC contractor. Planes aren't that costly. I owned a small plane before I moved here from Utah and it was not a tenth of that, no major overhauls included.

Commuting by plane to Manassas or Leesburg is doable but the place I would live at is just over the border in WVA so driving makes more sense and not subject to bad weather. I'm not IFR rated and even if I was I wouldn't fly IFR into this area.
