Dude, you are delusional.
You think the Lorton area is better with the prison gone, and the 4-5 large residential properties that are now clogged with McMansions, an over-crowded high school and a fuckload of townhouses, with minimal increase in infrastructure? Delusional.
I was a toddler in this area 30 years ago, I lived here when Manchaster lakes was 100% woods, you think a Kolhs, a wal-mart and a bunch of strip malls is an improvement? Fucking delusional
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. So please, for the love of god, shut. the. fuck. up.
