Fairfax City Has Leaders; Why None in Vienna?

Why can't we have what they have in Fairfax City? Why is economic development a dirty word in Vienna? People wake up. Maple Avenue is by and large an eyesore. From banks galore to fast food joints to dying buildings to power lines hanging everywhere - it's a mish mash past its prime by any measurement. Fairfax City gets a shot in the arm. We get Maud and Jane hanging out at the Amphora on Friday nights talking about name plates for park benches at the Town Green..

If you can make it happen at 80 years old - great. There are MANY in society at 80 still kicking ass. However, the 80+ year old leaders in Vienna are not doing anything except "resting". Vienna's leadership and government has become old physically and mentally. That's not good for Vienna in the short run or the long run. We are falling behind and Fairfax City is proving that.
