Little did we imagine that our editorial last week, entitled “A Modest Proposal,” would spark the kind of reaction it has. In addition to a lot of verbal comment, it elicited a thoughtful letter from a member of the Falls Church Planning Commission, drew wry comment from “Blueweeds,” the foremost blog focused on Falls Church political matters, and an entire column, no less, by Mason District Supervisor Penny Gross (see elsewhere in this issue). On the News-Press web site, the editorial quickly broke into the “most viewed stories of the week” list usually reserved for national issues columnists and other stories of wider and more universal interest.
