Will Albemarle County listen to the people (archived: 2006) who signed a petition asking for a population cap (no longer available)?

I am dying to see Old Trail’s promised affordable housing (no longer available):
“We do embrace affordability,” Beights said. He said affordable housing fitting the county’s current definition could start in the $180,000 price range and move up well over $200,000

This will prove an interesting exercise in integrity, politics, whether the elected officials listen to their constituents and whether much can be done to prevent growth.
