Once GM opened the dorms near Braddock Road students started parking every which way on the local streets - nose of car in trees, in ditches, totally horizontal to street, everything you can imagine. They are parking in no parking areas as well. Can't you "educated people" figure out how to obey the paking rules! Also, stop dropping your trash and beer bottles wherever you want. This is a residentail area not your college dorm room.

shut the fuck up bitch. parking at an angle to the street saves space and doesn't bother anyone but you.

and its the robinson students who litter so go yell at them

What's wrong with asking people to park the way they are supposed too. And picking up your trash is a civic duty. Personal attacks do nothing to further a discussion.

You are obviously new here...LMMFGDAO!

I just thought GMU claims all surrounding public land.

If you're talking about Roberts rd, parking at an angle takes up less space, allowing more cars to park on the side of the road. There is plenty of shoulder width for cars to be well clear of the road even when parked at an angle. there is seriously no fucking reason to complain about it. so again shut the fuck up

You called them uneducated in your post, miss manners.

Backing out of an angular parking space onto a busy road like Roberts is asking for an accident. I believe parallel parking is the law and tickets have been issued to cars parking at crazy angles. This is not a college town but a residential neighborhood area. We have no interest in fitting in more cars to accomodate GM students at the expense of safety.

Part of growing up is realizing that what may be a stupid idea from your point of view may make sense when viewed from the point of view of others. Parking at angles may mean that you can pack more vehicles in and even that they can park more quickly. However unlike paralell parking where the driver can see upcoming traffic in his mirrors the driver in an angled parking spot cannot. This increases the chances of an accident happening when the driver goes to leave the spot. Angled parking doesn't pose the same risks in a parking lot because traffic moves at very slow speeds.

BTW rolfer, it could be worse. The neighbors could suceed in convincing the County to impose one of those moronic residence only restrictions on the street turning it into their own private parking area.

Bill - Part of growing up is realizing that what may be a stupid idea from your point of view may make sense when viewed from the point of view of others. On my neighborhood street people decided to save on marina fees and commercial vehicle parking due to HOA restrictions by parking their boats and vans up and down the street, causing visibility problems for neighborhood intersections.

Going through the time and resources to get the county to designate the street as a residential street that prohibits commercial vehicles and watercraft was not easy but in the end it happened and now we have safer streets. Spare us the lectures and the hypocrisy.

OMG. I live on Roberts and park there. The VAST majority of people who park on Roberts don't even fucking live here. They're either Robinson fuckers or people from GMU too broke to afford a parking pass. I hate when I come home and there aren't spaces to park. I spit on the cars parked like shit, and laugh when they get tickets.

Are we talking about having the road simply declared a residential street which means that things like commercial vehicles and boats can't be parked on them, or are we talking about streets that only permit you to park on them if you are a resident? There is a difference and IF YOU READ MY POST you would understand I am talking about the latter. My beef with these restictions is that it takes a public resource and converts it into a private resource that is still maintained by the public. A restiction that prevents commercial vehicles and boats from being parked on the road would apply to both the residents of the area and to the general public equally, much as a prohibition against angled parking applies to residents and nonresidents equally.

BTW-Good luck with getting the Fairfax police to enforce those rules 5 years from now. It is an issue for our neighborhood as well, except that the offenders here are the residents.

Bill - Part of growing up is realizing that what may be a stupid idea from your point of view may make sense when viewed from the point of view of others. They are not private resources, it is a safety issue for all the reasons already posted. We are sorry you disagree with them and are in favor of doing nothing due to alleged inaction by the County police.

It isn't the Mason students that piss me off it is the Arab car dealer that runs his business out of his house. He parks no less than ten cars on the street all with dealer tags. The cars are pieces of shit and leak oil and trans fluid all over the street.

I called the county but they are too busy to care. They dont care that the cars have expired or no state inspections nor that he is running it out of his house. He will sometimes have a bunch of cabs parked out front as well. It may be his other business when car sales are slow.

Luckily I live a block away but his immediate neighbors are plenty pissed off. They too have called the county but the county says they are too busy with other matters.

It's all the Asians that go there. Can't drive for shit.

justsayin-Part of growing up is learning to ACTUALLY READ what another person posts rather than simply making up some crap and then hitting the "post message" button. Of course it is hard enough for you to type with only one hand so reading might be a bit much to ask. Good day.

C'mon Bill. Imagine living in a place like Old Town where visitors suck up all the street parking on a daily basis. Without resident-only parking you're lucky to get within 5 blocks of your house. Is that reasonable to you?

I also think the usage of the term "resource" is strange here. The street itself is still public. I don't see how making each curb resident-only parking could possibly be objectionable. :-)

Sucks to be me - send me an email with the address and the details and I will see if we can get some attention on this. Brian@brianfordelegate.com.

Kilton-You may not have noticed but in Old Town they actually do permit on street parking by nonresidents pretty much everywhere. The difference is that residents aren't subject to the 2-3 hour time limits that may apply to nonresidents in the same area.

And last time I checked the state (or city as the case may be) maintained the entire road, curb to curb or sholder to sholder. They don't only maintain the portion that the cars drive on.

He isn't understanding the implications of what he is saying, probably because he isn't experiencing the problem. His mind, sure of its correctness, obviously isn't going to be changed. It wouldn't be objectionable to reasonable people, certainly not to the people who pay real estate taxes in the area for the maintenance of the public roads there.

The homeowners there are forced out of their local roadway access, and if public streets are cut off from local users then the rules need to change to allow access back to the taxpayers.

The Mason parkers can petition their school for more paid parking options. They are quick to organize to condemn their police department, they can organize to find solutions to their parking problems. They polluted the next neighborhood down with their damn Vegas sign, isn't that enough? Oh wait Bill N doesn't live there, SCHOOL AND STUDENT RIGHTS!!11!!11!! He seems like one of those "frequently wrong, but never in doubt" types.

You didn't answer my question, though. (I wasn't saying Old Town is a good model for parking -- a lot of people who live there have a big beef with the parking situation, which I think is justified.)

Your objection seems to be a philosophical one with little applicability to the real world. I think it's entirely reasonable for a homeowner to be able to park in front of their house. The fact that the road is publicly maintained doesn't seem relevant in a practical sense.

OP is a nerd!

That sign is too close to Braddock and on a curve. Be damned careful if you're turning left off of Sideburn if you don't want to get T-boned. I've seen dozens of westbound Braddock drivers run that light.

There actually is enough time to see the light in time to stop IF you are paying attention. Unfortunately, many cars on area roads are driverless.

George Mason U = Problem Kids.

When we moved to the area GM was not the sprawling campus it is now. They have expanded everywhere and have no concern for the impact on their neighbors. If I had known that they would build a dorm on the corner of Roberts and Braddock I would never have purchased a home in that area. They jacked up the parking fees and forced students out onto the local streets. They have ruined the neighborhood.

I'm not the OP.

I HATE Mason students...inconsiderate drunks.... They shouldn't be allowed to rent townhouses in FAMILY neighborhoods near Mason. Sold my townhouse to move into a single family home in KPW....tired of the yelling all hours of the night cuz they were drunk, urinating in the street, leaving beer & whiskey bottles all over.....
Family neighborhoods don't need this immature, underaged juveniles.

So who is living in these "family" neighborhoods of yours? People without kids?

While I recognize that there are some bad eggs out there, there are over 32,000 students who attend Mason and there are only 5400 on campus housing slots. Folks are going to live off-campus. Treated them all like they're hooligans is wrong. If some of the students near you are breaking the law, call the police. But painting every student there as a drunken jerk is inappropriate.

I don't know, between stories here and the anti-police stance the student body has taken, I haven't seen much evidence of productive activities from the campus community. Feel free to point some out though and maybe the impressions will change. But "pain in the ass to surrounding population" is winning.

Slash there tires!

Just look around - there are over 5000 students on Mason's campus. They're supporting all the businesses in the surrounding area, helping keep them open. All the restaurants, everything in University Mall, a lot of the businesses in the City - without GMU, the staff, the students, many of those businesses wouldn't make it.

And just look at the surrounding communities with the rentals. The townhouse behind mine is Mason students, and the townhouse across the street used to be. It's extremely hard to sell a house nowadays and being able to rent is what's keeping some homeowners from foreclosure if they've had to leave the area. We've got a ready market of renters - not everyone can say that.

Like I said, there are bad eggs, but they exist everywhere. You can't blame every student because some of them are jerks.

Approximately eighty thousand Fairfax County residents live within two miles of University Mall. Students may shop there, but to say those businesses would fail isn't reasonable. In fact all those stores were populated with businesses twenty years ago when GMU was a fraction the size it is now. I know, I shopped there.


> We've got a ready market of
> renters - not everyone can say that.

Again, the scale is in question but at least on this one I can somewhat agree if it weren't for the fat that students renting housing and their behavior in that housing are already described in this thread as a problem. Any other community services besides just buying stuff that you can point to that may counter the bad behavior? Road cleanups, elderly resident assistance programs, anything?

Like it or not, Mason is a huge economic driver in Fairfax County. Thousands of students, thousands of employees, millions of dollars in construction projects bringing in and MORE jobs. Exciting research. More housing is in the plans, as is the west campus connector. May as well accept some of the inconveniences, since the school is only going to get bigger over time. Frankly, if you don't like living by the campus, may as well move now.

Two other points, inexpensive parking is available at the lot off of Braddock, and the shuttle cuts through by the Field House when Braddock backs up. Also, painting all students with a broad brush is ignorant. I'm sure there are parties, but if they don't quiet down after 11, complain to them. If that doesn't work, contact FCPD's non-emergency number.

Now, if they only had a football team.

Yeah, why not a football team? Any donors out there? Or should they just steal one and say they thought of it/////

If you keep badmouthing it maybe your job prospects will get better. What'd you study there?

If bad mouthing stings, sharing the truth hurt? May you not be at a loss unless you are GM’s attack dog. I study truth.

Justsayin, all I can say is that when I'm at University Mall, usually on the weekends, it's full of Mason students, regardless of the time. The school generates a lot of economic benefit to the area. Without it, a lot of those smaller businesses would have a much harder time making it.

And yes, while there are some problems with college kids acting like the stereotypical college kid, given the numbers, it's a very small few giving the rest a bad name. It's simply wrong to assume that every Mason student is just waiting to puke on your front lawn. Deal with individual problems as they arise. The school is a great benefit to our area, but there are always going to be issues.

Sadly the great benefits haven't been articulated... how nice it would be if you could say:

"There was probably a party that kept people up and that sucks. But that afternoon thirty students volunteered to pick up trash along Braddock from Roberts to 123, collecting thirty trash bags-full. So while a few may have caused a problem (and how do you know they were Mason students anyway?) you should know many more than that were out making the surrounding area a better place for the student body and for you, come join us sometime! We'd be glad to improve things together."

But you can't type that. If you are SERIOUS about what you believe about GMU, how about you organize something like that instead of typing generalizations and assumptions about the economic impact of the students at University Mall? I already answered that one with direct observation over time. Wouldn't it be nicer to have some concrete responses to criticism of the school with visible, positive impacts the students have created?

We aren't talking about the mere existence of students and the infrastructure required to house them as the root of the problem, we are talking about student behavior. Waving away the complaints with "you can't call ALL of us bad! Why don't you move away!" is a lame cop-out. Prove them wrong if you really mean it and make something like I articulated above a goal for something you organized that really happened.

Justsayin, all you need to do is go to Mason's website, or look at the school paper here http://gazette.gmu.edu/ and see all of the community events and volunteerism opportunities that the students provide. Every school does this kind of thing, and I know we've had plenty of Mason students who've volunteered for my campaign and I see them out with other campaigns all around the area. I know when I was an undergrad at GW my fraternity was doing volunteerism events and I took part in plenty, whether it was cleaning up parks in SE or collecting canned food for our annual drive, we put a lot back into the community. Mason is no different.

I'm not a Mason student. I'm running to represent the district in which Mason is located, and I value having the school there. I don't view it simply as an inconvenience to the neighborhood. While I recognize that there are bad apples, as I noted, there are tens of thousands of graduates and we're reading anecdotal complaints about a handful of people.

I spent 13 years in higher education, including four years as a college administrator in DC at GW and I can tell you that for every drunken jerk who wants to pass out on somebody's lawn, there are 20 hard working folks who want a good experience, to do well, graduate and get a good job. That's my experience with most GMU students, and that's why I am going to defend them when I see attacks where they're all painted with a broad brush. It's wrong.

I want to warn people from "Nigeria", Fairfax underground, who might be watching our show, if you get any e mails from "Washington",me, asking for money, it's a scam. Don't fall for it
- Jay Leno.


Vote: David Bulova.

I have never been known as a fan of the Fairfax County police, but I think a few calls or even a visit to the West Springfield sub station might well result in a crackdown on hazardous parking. The cops and parking enforcment patrol University Drive near the Fieldhouse every Tuesday and Thursday because it is easy pickings on those days. Why not add Roberts Road to the list?

"Cars full of students from area high schools arrived, as did college students from Virginia Tech, Washington and Lee, and William and Mary. "

Are you saying students from those schools are part of this parking problem?

Just Glad: JMU students are the scum of the Earth. Right up there with Ohio State.

Why doesn't the school provide info to incoming students about the parking laws? They could include it in the orientation materials.

George Mason is a very liberal school.

That means it's full of hypocritical environ-mentals and human rights activists who litter all over the fucking place and don't give a shit about the impact they have on people in their personal lives.

They think because they recycle, support CO2 regulations, "care" about Africa and gay people, then they're morally free to act like 3rd world mongoloid slaves...





These are the moral high horse riding liberals lecturing you about being "Green" and "educated"...

The cops started ticketing the angle parkers yesterday! Keep it up FCP and maybe these idiots will get the message!

I am with you 100% Yucky24. As I stated in "People of Fairfax, Unite!":

"The Al Gore faithful want us all to believe that driving our cars and burning oil is going to turn the Earth into an uninhabitable rock. This simply is not true. You see, the eco nuts seem to think that oil comes from dead dinosaurs and fauna that was covered in sediment millions and millions of years ago, and that we will soon run out of this wonderful resource. They would have us believe that we should look to other sources of fuel like solar power, wind, bio-fuel, hemp, etc... Well fuck you damned dirty hippies. I am here to set the record on a proper axis. There were no giant lizards romping about millions of years ago, because Mother Earth was created two thousand years ago. The all-powerful, invisible man in the sky made our universe and, most importantly, the United States of World for Adam (and Eve as an afterthought) and injected oil in the ground to use for all eternity. Burning oil with no regard for the environment is what God wants us to do. Liberals want us to stop burning oil because in truth they are Red Communists. You see, China doesn’t give a fuck about burning oil, and the more they burn the happier they are as they are able to eat away from their ozone layer, allowing harmful UV ray to easily escape from the environment. The EPAphiles would have the UV rays in the Greatest Country in the whole space-time continuum bounce back upon us so that we must turn up the air conditioners , thus allowing them to get high off Freon. With Americans doped up all the time on AC fumes, nothing would get done and China wins. So it is our duty to drive urban assault vehicles whenever possible. When not driving just let it run idle, and together we can eradicate that pesky ozone layer."

It's not UC Berkeley, but it is very liberal. There is an example where cops busted kids spitting on military recruiters that many use to say it's not liberal. But it is. Liberal. Trust me on that.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. I mean, we have to have academics making up global warming evidence so Obama can loan billions to failing green companies like Solyndra, right?

“We don’t have any rude, unpleasant people here. We’re different!”

Heard that someone was keying student cars parking along Roberts Road at crazy angles. Anyone find their car damaged? The cars parked normally are being left alone. I know the cops were ticketing there.

You are suggesting the police, being in the area with those cars, keyed them?

Laughed @ Mason parkers getting their cars scratched

Seriously though,
I don't mind Mason folks parking but when they do it at an angle they usually do it the fucking wrong way so their car sticks past the line. I wouldn't give a shit but it's a pretty narrow road in the first place.

So happy that these idiots are getting ticketed! Almost every day I see tickets on these cars which are parked at crazy angles. There also some parking after the "no parking to corner" signs which have tickets. Fairfax can make some big bucks here. Keep it up!

Big accident Wed evening rush hour thanks to parking by Mason students. Car traveling north on Roberts Road came around the bend. Car trying to pull out of Gainsborough traveling west could not see around them and the two collided. When are the police going to take this intersection seriously. There are accidents here all of the time now. I have complained to Supervisor Cook and his predecessor but nothing is done.

Last year a Mason student had their car smashed in and it sat for weeks before the student even discovered it! The trunk was smashed and open for weeks while it just sat there.

Some of these Mason kids have been partying in the townhouse community and then climbing onto the tops of cars and jumping from car to car as they make their way back to campus along Roberts Road. Such nice boys! No thought to damaging private property. These snot nose kids need to be arrested.
