The link is about a single family home that goes to Herndon elementary and Herndon middle and high school. Some of McNair is oddly placed and between Herndon elementary and Hutchison- maybe some stuff in the Alabama Ave area.
So Mcnair has nice new homes plus other areas and I guess older Herndon areas have a lot more problems with non-permit work [unsafe conditions], overcrowding etc than the Reston Cluster and RA area properties. Also remeber Fairfax County did not or does not change out tenants as their income increases [was a Washington Post article].
Seems that most of the FRPM Mcnair students are already at Herndon. I don't know.
Herndon has trailers yet shows as under capcity so it's a mystery. Don't the Board of Supervisors ever read the FCPS CIP and notice that?
