[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So instead of having a higher tax base, wealthier residents moving in and better options you'll take Babes, a Giant stuck in the 1920s and still have the traffic except they're from Maryland not DC. It's not like they plan to develop Newark or Macomb. It's the main thoroughfares![/quote]

It's not thru-traffic, it's the tens of hundreds of cars circling the residential blocks, looking for free on-street parking.  Then they get understandably pissed and create a "spot" hanging over 50% of your driveway.  Think Adams Morgan.   No thanks.[/quote]

We solved that in Clarendon by having County change zone parking restrictions. Non-residents can only park btwn 1am-8am 24/7. No parking for bars/restaurants, traders or whole foods anymore. It went from an Adams Morgan atmosphere back to residential overnight.

Of course-DC would never do that. Business hasn't suffered over here and there's a ton to walk too.[/quote]

They do this in Edgemoor/Bethesda also -- some streets are residential permit (narrow area), 24/7. But I can just here the whining if DC were institute such parking restrictions on the side streets in Cleveland Park or Tenleytown.[/quote]

Yep. I am a former DC resident and they do seem to cater to those that live outside of the District more than their own residents at times. [/quote]
