As a perspective you can build a 4,000-5,000 seat civic arena for that price. (Note, that does not include buying the land.)

Fuzzy put it best. The war on terror is over and the money it showered on this area is going bye-bye. And I’m tired of the Board turning the community into a giant shopping mall on the basis that it needs to remain “competitive” with the other shopping mall communities in Fairfax, Tyson’s, and Mont. Co. Why? So the Board gets more residents, businesses, and tax money to spend? Is that really the point? Rah-rah we’re number 1? Is that progress?

Pop question, hot shot. You’re on a 2-lane road approaching a red light. There are seven cars stopped ahead of you waiting for the light to turn green. Do you pass them on the left close to oncoming traffic or the right? WHAT DO YOU DO???

The correct answer, of course, is not to shoot the hostage. The correct answer is that you politely wait your turn behind the seventh car, just like a car would. That’s seven fewer dooring opportunities you would miss.

It sounds like these transportation projects Tejeda wants to fund are things that wouldn’t be getting done anyway, and I’m happy for them not to get done if that means I dont have to pay a country income tax. If they want to spend money on stupid things, then they should feel the pain when there’s nothing left for the important things. And I would like the vast majority of Arlingtonians who keep voting for these nimrods to feel the pain too.

Well, it sounds like these transportation projects Tejada wants to fund are things that wouldnt be getting done anyway. I’m happy to keep it that way if that’s the price of not having a county income tax. Meanwhile, they already spent the money on stupid things, so now they need to feel the pain of that. And so should the vast majority of Arlingtonians, whom we have to thank for voting for these nimrods.

The current Arlington County Board and supporting political establishment can smell taxpayers dollars faster than a wolf can smell a weakened fawn. Streetcars, Artispheres, luxurious aquatic centers, and even more streetcar-type projects for “transportation” to the Artispheres and the “aquatic centers.” Better hold on to your wallets folks; better yet, let’s find some taxpayer-friendly candidates and VOTE!

Don’t you mean the “Dems” voted to let local Dems do the dirty work? Did you look at the vote?

I said the capability of watching you at all times. And speed cameras aren’t limited to intersections, so what are you talking about ?

This is exactly why they need to make dooring a criminal offense.

Being stuck in a metal box all day makes you aggressive and self-centered.
