Lets see.

1) The Greenbelt site is cheapest and most shovel ready

2) The Greenbelt site is inside the beltway

3) The Greenbelt site has its own metro station that is boutique and barely used. It will practically be the FBI's private metro stop.

4) Good access to Montgomery County and Howard County(the best publics in the DMV) schools.

5) Being in the Richest state in the United States.

6) Better Access to the best and by far the most Private schools than Springfield which needs to cross the river to access the MD/DC privates.

7) Better access to NSA, Annapolis, Bay and Beaches.

8) a better looking area than Springfield.


What does proximity to OC (Pittsburgh by the Sea) have to do with anything?


She’s thinking of family friendly amenities that would attract potential recruits. There’s also proximity to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the just unveiled Baltimore Harbour redevelopment that will make it the premier East Coast destination. It will be designed by the same team that successfully designed Liverpool’s waterfront redevelopment (in the UK).


Premier east coast destination? Because of a couple buildings? You are seriously high.

If we are being fair there isn’t really anything comparable in Virgina. Lurray caverns? Shanendoah? Virginia Beach? Too far away compared to Baltimore or OC from the proposed site. Maryland is not ideal in terms of distance, but other than that it is better and less expensive than the other sites.

The MARC Camden Line stops at Greenbelt station. So commuting from Baltimore will be a breeze. A charming Baltimore rowhouse in one of the charming and safe neighborhoods near the harbor is just a one seat train ride away.

My peeps, this is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Mark my words.

Cutting the state and county income taxes would be a far greater incentive to FBI employees and recruits than promoting access to the aquarium and beach.

Maybe more people would actually want to live in MD if they didn’t feel like they were getting constantly fleeced by incompetent state and county governments.

So, people will be lining up to join the FBI because the aquarium in Baltimore, and wet t-shirt contests at Seacrets (full of contestants from Scranton) are slightly closer to Greenbelt?

Hopefully the state and CSX will come to an agreement about increasing frequency and reliability on the MARC Camden Line. The current schedule is too limited, and CSX trains make MARC trains late, way too often.

There's really no argument for Springfield that's better in total. Plus located next to a Big Ten University with the #1 ranked Criminology graduate program in the country.

The Greenbelt site is a ton nicer looking and lower density than the seedy looking Springfield site.

CSX owns the line and freight takes priority over commuters. That's not going to change.

I suggest you look at the agreement Virginia negotiated with CSX during the administration of Governor Northam.

Camden Line upgrades would be a huge boon for Maryland, and for connectivity to Greenbelt. It is the most convenient line into downtown Baltimore and the Harbor. (Penn Station is far north of the Harbor).

I can’t really see the FBI suddenly having recruitment problems because of a relocation to suburban Maryland.
