Goldfish,

You need to understand that what you are saying is exactly the misunderstanding most residents have between what is good and bad development.

The reason why MoCos ag reserve is a GOOD development incentive is because it stops sprawl style developers and forces people to look closer in and make do with what is available, not beg the state or county to help fund a big road to One Loudoun because the developer cant afford to.

Maybe if the developer cant even afford the capital cost of something as simple as a road connection, then he shouldnt be planning "manhattan in Loudoun county" just a thought.

The point of setting aside these massive land conservations is SO that people dont have to make the decision between bucolic and urban. Loudoun county is a huge land mass, so say all of it must remain rural is frankly not looking at the facts of the matter today. The eastern edge of the county ISNT rural, it has massive commercial and residential use. You gotta get past that fact.

Want to stop the destruction of bucolic regions? Stop projects like One Loudoun which grab up 500 acres like its nothing to build poor quality construction as cheap as possible with no funding towards future traffic and infrastructure mitigation.

Support projects that develop around Metro that have urbanized housing, they house more people in less land space, therefore leaving more areas of Loudoun rural.

Urbanists love farmers FAR MORE than suburbanites because we want to keep those areas prestine, where as they want to build 600 mcmansions on them in order to fit all of their margaritaville margarita machines
