[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What Fairfax hopes for and what it will achieve are not the same thing.  Tysons was developed specifically as a car-centric area.  Office workers there frequently drive to lunch.  Trying to turn that into a pedestrian friendly area is hardly a sure thing.[/quote]

You say that, but there's a video. A VIDEO.

What more will it take to convince you?[/quote]

Not only that, there's a PLAN. I'm sure it won't turn out like one of these.

Having people living very near their work is not a plausible vision these days because jobs are so fluid, nobody works at the same location for 20 years anymore, but people still want to put roots down somewhere and raise there kids through school without moving.   You can change jobs every 2-5 years or your corporate office can change locations and then what?  Pick up and move?  People want short commutes to jobs, but they don't want to live right there smack in the middle of the office parks necessarily, which is why probably most of the downtown office building locations are devoid of life even in the big cities.[/quote]
