Thank you for your views on Mr. Labiosa. There are more than enough “negative” blogs and it is refreshing to note a “positive” view. Had you not presented your view on this blog, it would appear that Mr. Labiosa would continue to be demonized and any good works he did in trying to help the community would have been omitted. Thanks again!

Anyone remember Manassas Park purchasing the house at 103
Manassas Drive for $505,000.? Was supposed to demolish it
to make a dedicated turn lane onto Mathis. That’s been vacant
for over a year, maybe 2 years. Why haven’t they rented it
out to re-coup some of that money? If they had waited, they
could probably get it for under 200K right now….what a waste.

Manassas Park used to be a very nice, quaint neighborhood. Now
it is run into the ground with the illegal communities shenanigans.
I wish you HOA guys luck and God Speed with what you have on
your hands.

He has employed the police department in the past to rid the Barksdale townhome community of serious drug dealing issues by having off-duty officers work security in the community. He did this at great personal risk to himself, and his family. His actions cleaned out open air dealing, and created a safe environment for residents. I have walked the community with him, and witnessed him correcting the behavior of hispanic residents.

My guess about the non-payment of HOA dues would mostly be due to foreclosed properties currently being processed by real estate agents. HOA dues on these properties are usually paid after a purchaser obtains ownership of these vacant properties at closing. If Barksdale is anything like the other townhome communities in PWC, there are at least 10% of existing units that are either on the market for sale, or being processed for eviction, and foreclosure.

Residents “revolting” by not paying dues sounds like a convenient excuse not to pay bills. I may not agree with all of Mr. Labiosa’s immigration beliefs, but if his actions are an indicator of his dealings with local hispanics, he expects them to contribute to this community by abiding by laws, and living to community standards. He was not a fan of hispanic houses crowded with multiple families, or acts of public intoxication by hispanics, or zoning violations committed by hispanics.

Carlos Labiosa has committed a lot of personal time to try to clean up his community. I wish there were more citizens who were more committed to doing the right thing, even if their political beliefs don’t match mine. Don’t be too quick to judge this man. My past observations of is support of the police department, and especially the individual street officers dealing with problems involving hispanics, leads me to believe he is as open minded about his Human Rights Commission position as a person in that position could be.

The HOA should fire Lippy, because there is a clear conflict of interest here.

This is a false premise.

Wall Street fears Obama as President.

Tax increases, income redistribution, socialism, etc.

This “financial crisis” is being manufactured by Demcrats to get Obama elected.

However, in this era of leftist political correctness, the last thing you can seek is the firing of a worthless Latino.

This is no different than Obama’s relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers. If you question this you’re a racist.

If John McCain had a similar relationship with a former abortion clinic bomber, the leftist’s would be all over him.

I noticed on the other site that Elwina welcomes discussions about leftist vaginas.

I surmise Elwina believes that since most leftist vaginas are very lonely, that some online stimulation of smears and lies may jettison the cobwebs from the leftist crotch.

He’s also been running for Neabsco Dist. Supervisor for at least 6 years - only problem is Jenkins won’t get out of his way - an probably won’t endorse him when he finally does.

Perhaps Labiosa can propose a solution where Spanish speakers are exempt and all English speakers can pay extra to cover for them. Then that will solve the problem, in the general style of the Amnesty he protests for.

In Spanish as well as English. Then he can’t say “I couldn’t read the letter.”

The citizens of the HOA may sue their own board to try to get them to enforce architectural guidelines, which may or may not cause the board to sue the property manager.

Enforcement of HOA architectural restrictions, or trash policies is not regulated by state or local government in Virginia.

The homeowners in the HOA have a lot more power than they realize. But, random citizens have virtually no say in HOA governance . . .

It is up to the Assoc. members to put his feet to the fire or get him out of there and get someone who will do the job.
Just remember Labiosa is in Jenkins pocket.
Maybe the people there needs to complain to Jenkins office about the poor management. NOW

I also could never figure him as McGruff,must be money in that,but what an example.
Maybe the officials feel sorry for him,but it’s time to see what he is,”a detriment to the community and us tax paying citizens”

He does not work at his job and never has,he’s busy marching and protesting where ever he can.

What a slob to be called a man.

Our neighborhood has dilapidated quite a bit in the past year and we have started to take steps to reclaim it, but it is a slow process. Anyone who isn’t paying their dues now gets towed if their car is parked anywhere in the community. We are going door to door documenting homes that are not kept up and will be vigorously fining them. It’s pretty alarming to look out at the massive lot from my bedroom window and see that it is more than half empty now because people aren’t parking there any more because they know they will get towed. These offenders are killing values for the rest of the community and they need to either leave or come into line.

I used to hate associations as well until I realized what a drastic need there is for them in areas like this that have been hit so hard by 3rd worlders with no understanding of American values and concerns. Instead of complaining about the association, these owners should get involved and try to help. Our association, how meager it may be, is the only strand that is left that is holding our community together. We are massively underfunded right now due to foreclosures and people not paying their dues and if our association folds then this development will be the wild west within a month. The city and the county will do NOTHING and have done NOTHING to combat the effects of foreclosure and the reasons for where we are today (illegals, idiots that bought houses they could never afford and the CRA) so it is up to everyone to get involved locally in their own communities to do what they can.
