AS INCREDIBLE AS IT SEEMS, a Circuit Court judge in Prince William held, in effect, that the “rights” of the developer of Dale City take precedence over the welfare of everybody else. r,0 Shake your head if you want to, but that attitude has been expressed all too often in Virginia’s courts. Loudoun’s Supervisors might not have known how lucky they really were to get a favor, able court ruling on their saying “no” to the “growth” intentions of a would-be giant developer.
We must assume that Prince William’s supervisors will appeal this fantastic decision, for if it is allowed to stand unchallenged it is difficult to assume how that poor county can ever hope to cope with a mushrooming growth which seems to have assumed a malignant life of its own—'divorced from reason, common sense and equity.
Prince William’s experience must also give pause to those hopefuls in this part of Virginia who still say “growth” is all right just so long as it’s “orderly.” The court decision in Prince William may be a warning that even “orderly” growth” may be unattainable once the floodgates are topped. □ _,_ . .
