Who I Want To Be When I Grow Up - Create A Housing Utopia for Lower Income Families

No, This is not a government throwback to the Johnson Administration or "The Great Society." This is a private business enterprise run by developer John K. Freeman who bought a run down townhouse development in Falls Church, VA and has turned it into a modern day utopia for (I don't want to use the words poor or disadvantaged) families with limited incomes. If I go to my grave having completed a project like Mr. Freeman has done, other than raising two fine sons, my life would have been well worth living. I would understand my reason for "being" on this earth. Please read this article. It will show you what can be done through private enterprise to make a profit yet fully benefit a community that was once run down and crime ridden in many ways including providing a safe prosperous way for our next generation to grow up. Why it matters: One of Fairfax County, VA's highest performing schools (and Fairfax County has one of the best school systems in the nation), is "Graham Road Elementary." Two thirds of the schools children are from Kingsley Commons, the development revitalized by John K. Freeman.
