[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like every place is more generic.  All across the coutnry I see the same restaurants and the exact same looking apartments and townhomes—everything is owned and supplied by the same mega businesses.  I saw an interview with a famous restiajrantejr recently (now I can’t remember who, but you would know him), and he was basically saying it’s nearly impossible to come up in the restaurant scene now as an independent and he would never make it now.  It’s the same with the little stores and so forth….tje headwinds are all again unique and quirky.  [/quote]

That is depressing but probably true.

Still with intentionality and will, more could be done by[b] Bethesda urban planners[/b] to mitigate the overwhelming blandness [/quote]

There are no such people.

There are property owners, that's who you are talking about.

Then it’s time to incorporate as a city.[/quote]

Too late now! And the County would never allow it. A bunch of us looked into it back when they first started working on the Downtown Plan. [/quote]

What does the county lose if they let more cities incorporate like Rockville in Montgomery County ?
[/quote]

They lose a portion of the tax revenue derived from the properties located inside the newly incorporated city. [/quote]
Yes, but they can also outsource some of the service expenses to the new cities.
