[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This deal is not done, so DC has some hope.  Lets pressure the Mayor and DC Council to move aggressively and quickly.  Both are important.[/quote]

Or they can sit back and let the Virginia House of Delegates reject a bad deal, and maybe have a staffer take Teddy’s call when he comes crawling back.[/quote]

That is not likley if Alexandria is on board.  [/quote]If I were an Alexandria taxpayer, I would be furious over this.[/quote]

As an Alexandria taxpayer I like this. City of Alexandria needs to diversify its tax revenue and this will help. Original plans for Potomac Yard envisioned more office buildings in that section, but there’s little demand for new office space and Alexandria is leading the country in office to residential conversions. This whole entertainment district will generate a lot of tax revenue for Alexandria—much more than the empty lots that are currently there.[/quote]

+1 And we need the money. More restaurants are closing and the associations have left. It’s nice to have to have a tax revenue stream coming from something other than real estate taxes.[/quote]

The idea that this MD resident will head to PY to eat a meal or watch a performance is zero.  I have been to National Harbour exactly once since its opening, as it has no attraction to me either.  The good news of course is that I will have more money to spend because I will not be attending Caps games or an occasional Wizards games.  [/quote]
