[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but $2500 a month for a 2bed/2bath is a bit more than what will be charged at the new food star building. It is not meant for construction workers and cab drivers, that is who lives all around the food star site. But it will be "cheap" luxury housing. This is not the Pike and Walter Reed area that has little affordable housing. The corner of the Pike and Georgemason, and areas just east and west are almost entirely affordable housing. This is particularly true for the entire south side of the Pike, it is one cheap rental after another. The foodstar site with be an island.[/quote]

Sweetie- this county may be run by morons, but the free market still rules the day. Could you please provide a link and support why you think this development will command anything but top dollar?
Why didn't you google 55 hundred down the road right across from the Shell? It's surrounded by shit and walkable to nothing. The cheapest 2 bed/ 2 bath is 2200. 
Why do you think the developer of the Food star site is going to take a penny less than what the market will bear? Oh, it's an island? Sure- except the high end townhomes being built right at four mile and Columbia Pike.  Development doesn't happen over night. Once a nice big Harris Teeter is built, all of those lots with crappy strip malls and Penske truck rentals will be prime for redevelopment. And guess what? The form based code doesn't apply to those parcels- because they don't currently have residential on them. They don't ( and won't) have any AH. The land is so close to the pentagon and downtown -$$$.
