It was done with little effort towards proper planning and infrastructure. The entire region from Dulles and east now seamlessly melds into the horrific gridlock of Northern Virginia.  Simply voting to allow housing can be as short sighted as what planners had evidently previously planned for in Mountain View.<p>At any rate, I stand by my assertion that it&#x27;s a really poor comparison between MV and Loudoun.<p><i>Amended to reflect the wikipedia post:
MCI (now Verizon assume) and Aol are really the only large headquartered technology companies that I&#x27;ve seen in Ashburn.  There are smaller firms, but there hasn&#x27;t been a windfall of companies willing to move further away from DC to setup headquarters here. Loudoun remains largely housing sprawl.</i><p><i>Also amended with this helpful link of the county&#x27;s largest employers: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biz.loudoun.gov&#x2F;index.aspx?NID=103" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biz.loudoun.gov&#x2F;index.aspx?NID=103</a> </i>
