Ruh-roh…!!
of course, Loudoun County — growht through the roof. The Loudoun Times is reporting a 35% jump over 2010’s census, which means the County has gone from 315,000 to 425,000 — a whopping increase of 110,000 people! And, in terms of new housing units, due to the 2008-2010 foreclosure crisis, i am not sure therew were really that many more units built. Seems most of Loudoun’s growth are children and young parents. This means Loudoun is now bigger in population than Virginia Beach. Statewide — Huge growth in african americans –from about 13 to 18%. Latino jump was only 2 percentage points. Whites dropped by 1%. The loss of population in the SW and southern parts of the state bode a problem in redistricting for Republicans in the House and Senate. Seems there will be more disttricts in nova than now, and fewer in the Republican SW and rural areas. It seems Virginia doesnt lose a House seat, but the prospect of two GOP congressmembers in the 9th, 6th, 5th or 7th being put in the same district seems pretty good. Loudoun County should probably be split into 2 congressional districts to give it 2 votes in the House, but the bipartisan commission will have the last say
The future of VA is clearly NOVA-Richmond-Hampton Roads crescent. Which party has done more in the past 20 years to build or affirm its constituency in that region, and which party has continued to pander to rural interests of dying areas of the commonwealth?
Which party hmmm…. indeed which party made Loudoun the richest county in America thanks to federal government spending?? That crescent you speak of is built on the backs of US taxpayers so you guys can suck off the federal tit like there’s no tomorrow. Any ramped up federal spending has built that place… Reagan’s defense spending… W’s war on terror and two war spending… Obama’s stimulus… Trump’s stimulus… now Biden’s stimulus. You get rich while the rest of the country gets nothing. You have federal contractors of all stripes, filthy lobbyists… career politicians/ Jeffy Bezos and his Amazon cloud services for billions to the federal gumment.
It’s just being in the swamp… you didn’t achieve anything.
