In other words, they vote for Penny, Sharon, etc. What you'll quickly discover is that the vast majority of them are voting solely based on party affiliation. If you question my conclusion, feel free to drop by any precinct on election day and strike up a conversation with a few of these guys. That's in sharp contrast to the vast majority of voters who showed up at the polls without having the foggiest idea about what's going on in Mason.

These ignorant people get exactly what they deserve - a brand new DMV Customer Service Center in a large storefront in Mason District that has remained vacant for over two years.

The Know-Nothings who dominate the comments on this board campaign against any new housing development - whether it is million dollar homes in Lake Braddock or a modern apartment building on the site of abandoned buildings that serve as hotspots for crime in the center of Bailey's Crossroads. While more people will increase demands on public infrastructure (transit and good schools), which will be built because of the growing demand by more people for those services it will also make Mason District more attractive to businesses who will want to locate in the district to serve its growing population with growing discretionary income. The development of more modern housing will bring more people with more discretionary income into Mason District. Reading the post above, two very successful new developments are the Calloway single-home development on Little River Turnpike, and the Ambrose Hills townhouse development on the site of the former eyesore (but beloved for its long history) in a residential community, Rosslyn Auto Body. The problem with Mason District is the bulk of the commenters on this site (with the exception of Adam Goldberg) who bitterly complain about any change.
