METRO WANTS TO SELL A HOUSE
Metro, a multibillion-dollar transit agency that employs more than 10,000 workers and shuttles millions of people around the region, has been moonlighting as the landlord of a single-family home for more than 30 years. The transit agency is now trying to leave the business of collecting rent checks and maintaining the 50-odd-year-old house. But it may have run into a problem: Fairfax County says Metro doesn't have the zoning it thought it did to get rid of the house. "It makes sense that they'd want to sell it, but unfortunately there's a process to go through," Fairfax County planner Cathy Lewis told The Washington Examiner. (Washington Examiner)
