* Fairfax County government. Herndon, Vienna and Clifton also have their own town councils, which we don't cover yet — and Fairfax City and Falls Church are separate cities, not part of the county.

How it works

1

Tell us about you

Where you live, your housing situation, and what topics matter to you. Takes 60 seconds.

2

We read the agenda

We monitor the ordinances, resolutions and votes where you live, so you don't have to.

3

You get your digest

A weekly email explaining what happened, what it means for you, and how to make your voice heard.

Same agenda, different story

Two residents get completely different emails based on what matters to them.

Renter in Ward C

Ordinance 23-045: Rent Control Amendment

"This would cap your annual rent increase at 4% instead of the current 5%. As a Journal Square renter, this directly affects your lease renewal..."

Homeowner in Ward A

Ordinance 23-045: Rent Control Amendment

"This expands rent control protections in your area. As a property owner, this could affect rental income if you lease units in your building..."

What lands in your inbox

Three sections, every Thursday: what your council decided, what is getting built, and what is happening on your street. Every item here is from a digest we have already sent.

Ordinances & Resolutions
Fairfax County · Mount Vernon District

Lorton Core Area Land Use Plan Change

🏗️This is directly in your backyard — the Lorton Core plan shapes what gets built along Route 1 for the next decade or more, think density, mixed-use, and potentially more affordable units near transit 🏘️. The hearing happened July 14 but no decision is recorded yet, so keep an eye on how the Board rules — it could meaningfully change the character of that corridor a few miles up the road from you.

Development & Zoning
Seattle · District 3

70-unit mixed-use building approved at 1001 S Jackson St

🏗️This is just outside District 3 in District 2, but it’s right on the District 3 border near the Central District — a 70-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail going up on Jackson Street will shift traffic, parking supply, and the neighborhood character close to your area.

Community Notices
Jersey City · Ward E

Planning Board hearing on 200 Greene Street (Harborside area)

🏗️That’s right in your Ward E backyard — any development at Harborside directly affects your waterfront neighborhood’s density and character.
