You should hope that you either die young, or that whoever ends up wiping your wrinkled old behind has more respect for their elders than you do.<br /><br />Irony can be pretty cruel, honey.

The property itself was donated by a member of the congregation. Throughout the years, church members have continued to support the housing at Culpepper Gardens, through both financial donations and volunteer activities. The program has actually won some awards for things like the quality of care and innovation. <br /><br />I hope I'll have enough money to take care of myself in my senior years, but if I don't, I'd be comfortable putting myself in their hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-20376880491870850992016-07-03T22:21:04.692-04:002016-07-03T22:21:04.692-04:00Give me a freaking break.

If you're a member of that church, you know that seniors, children, people of all ages/races/orientations are appreciated and respected there. And if you're not a member of the church--well, I'm not sure it's your role to insinuate that a decision other than senior housing would be disrespectful to seniors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-76577868714156043832016-07-03T12:15:19.703-04:002016-07-03T12:15:19.703-04:00Anonymous at 12:06 AM is correct.

More seniors, who have worked hard their whole lives and lived in Fairfax County are having to move because of increased taxes and their limited income. Let's give them the respect they deserve. I suspect many raised their children in Fairfax County; sent them to FCPS; and contributed in other ways to the County.

Other affordable housing and transitional housing just duplicates what the county and other providers are already doing.<br /><br />Seniors are being ignored. I hope the FCC will step up and fill the gap for the low income seniors. Culpepper Garden in Arlington is a good example of a low income senior housing. It is sponsored by a Unitarian Church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-49348690932473371492016-06-30T14:25:52.893-04:002016-06-30T14:25:52.893-04:00Would the rental units be exempt from real estate ...Would the rental units be exempt from real estate taxes since the church is a non profit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-57614171725067296652016-06-30T11:21:11.821-04:002016-06-30T11:21:11.821-04:00You could say the topic came up: http://annandale...You could say the topic came up: http://annandaleva.blogspot.com/2016/02/an-open-letter-to-mason-district.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-13008618508723000002016-06-30T10:24:00.017-04:002016-06-30T10:24:00.017-04:00This seems like a win-win for the relocation of th...This seems like a win-win for the relocation of the Baileys Crossroads Homeless shelter!!
