I live in Alexandria, VA, where the PTO's new office opened not too long ago, after outgrowing its old quarters in Crystal City (an office building hellhole adjacent to the Pentagon). While I am glad that the PTO remains in Alexandria as a major employer, I must complain of the increase in traffic--car, foot, and subway line--in an already-overcrowded area of town, that has had to absorb and cater to all these new users-of-city services and taker-upppers of space, an estimated 5,000 people. While your arguments about the caseload are of merit (I work for SSA, in case you want to googlefight about an agency being budget-axed into total dysfunction), please allow us to take in and assimilate the new people before you dream of further population increases. Or, alternatively, encourage the greedheads to stop patenting silly stuff.

How reassuring to know of your good intentions and behavior, past, present and future. What did you say your name was?
