FH could be incredible if it was connected on the MD side. You could create another Reston Town Center or whatever they call the area in Rockville/North Bethesda with the REI and LL Bean.
You have a wasted surface lot behind the new Mazza replacement, wasted surface lot at the Saks in CC MD. You have the Lord & Taylor site...it seems crazy to turn that into the new bus depot...although I guess that opens up development of the current bus depot.
It needs to be far more mixed-use...apartments, retail, entertainment (Dave & Busters, Pinstripes type places), etc.
Turning Friendship Heights and AU Park into some high rise city with Dave & Busters? No thanks.
That would be awesome. Right now it is basically nothing and wont be converted into a SFH or open space area…so what would you suggest?
BTW…I don’t care nor even understand what Smart growth is. I want a fun, dynamic destination with lots for everyone to do.
Building lots of townhouses makes more sense than apartments and condos. Increasing density without drastically altering the area.
the region invested billions into the metro station. you don't build low density townhouses on top of such a regional investment.
I get it, you live in a single family home not far from Friendship Heights. You chose to purchase there based on proximity to metro and other amenities. Guess what, other people want to enjoy the same benefits. You can enjoy what you have and let new people also enjoy it as well.
Beautiful! the "new" people can move into the
existing SFHs and rowhomes in the neighborhood when they come on the market! Then "other" people can enjoy the same benefits.
Where you and I part company is when you think I should have thousands of _additional_ people living within a mile of me -- in multifamily housing that doesn't yet exist. And for which there is not demonstrated demand, as shown by flat in-migration and empty new construction apartments a mile down the road.
