I think this claim fails for several reasons:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFirst, even if you accept the current owners numbers, there are but 33 current exemptions. I\u0026#39;d be interested to know how many there were when they agreed to purchase the system from the previous owners, who were running away from it as fast as they could, and reportedly sold it to the new guys for a dollar. (I\u0026#39;m sure it looked like easy money to the purchasers when they did some arithmetic. A monopoly! \u0026quot;Let\u0026#39;s see, ~625 guaranteed customers x our ridiculous rates minus minimal expenses...we\u0026#39;ll be rich!\u0026quot;  And the process of granting exemptions was well established when they agreed to make the purchase. The reasons people sought them were clear. Did they fail to anticipate that people would continue to seek such exemptions? Did they think that Reston would stop granting them? Are 33 such exemptions out of six hundred and something customers the reason the system isn\u0026#39;t viable? I suggest not. But even if it is, the reason that so many people seek exemptions is because the system doesn\u0026#39;t provide adequate cooling. It\u0026#39;s not very complicated. If it worked adequately, people wouldn\u0026#39;t bother going to the trouble to get exemptions, nor the expense of installing a working system once the exemption is received. Think about it. If the system provided adequate cooling, there would not be any need for a health exemption at all. Generic modern air conditioning systems appropriate for our climate provide healthy air for people across a very wide range of health concerns. Such health concerns as are sufficient to justify an exemption from Reston might affect any family at any time. This was all true when they bought the joint.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThen there\u0026#39;s the \u0026quot;without enforcing the rules\u003Cbr \/\u003Ereturning homes to RELAC when they change ownership.\u0026quot; I wonder how many of these there have been? Notice that they did not say. I am personally aware of two home sales in recent years made by persons who held health exemptions and were not on RELAC at the time they made their sales. In each case, I was told that the purchaser applied for and received their own exemption prior to finalizing the purchase. New home buyers gotta breathe too.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo, um, no. RA didn\u0026#39;t cause this. I think it\u0026#39;s fair to criticize RA for not seeing the very obvious writing on the wall that this system was unsustainable, and failing to adequately prepare for its inevitable collapse. I\u0026#39;ll be interested to see how they handle the fire dill.
