In response to the developer proposals to add nearly 40,000 housing in eastern Loudoun and the recent court ruling that invalidated the rural zoning in Western Loudoun that was put in place in 2003 after years of public discussion, residents across the county upset that their elected officials aren't doing more to better manage growth.

At recent meetings, residents from across Loudoun have testified that they are worried about meeting the needs for ballfields, roads and other amenities in current communities and communities already approved but not built.  "I live in Sugarland Run and I signed the petition because I am concerned about the quality of my family's life," said Mike Keeney. "It's easy to look at the map of the proposed development and see that those of us in eastern Loudoun are between all of those new houses most jobs. Where are we going to put all the traffic? Double deck Route 7 and Route 50?

One resident even put her concerns to song, Stand by Our Plan, to the tune of Tammy Wynette's classic Stand By Your Man. Listen Here.
