[quote=Anonymous][quote]I couldn't agree more. Except here, the "suburbanites" in question are the people who live in CCDC, Cleveland Park, etc. They want a suburban existence without the inconvenience of living in a suburb. There are good and bad things to living in the city - parking is one of the drawbacks. It's ridiculous to limit rational infill and growth patterns because you want to live in Mayberry.

(I'd have a little more sympathy if I thought any of these whiners had trouble parking their one car. But I'll bet that many/most of them have 2+, just want to use the street for free parking, and don't want to be inconvenienced. Don't even get me started on the "they block my driveway" crowd - they HAVE parking, but don't want additional development because of a few lawbreakers. But really, how ridiculous is, "People sometimes block my driveway, so we should stop potentially millions of dollars in development." Ridiculous.[/quote]

I don't need your sympathy, but thanks.  My neighbors and I are organized, connected, kinda old, and collectively pretty wealthy. We like Mayberry.  We'll manage (as we always have) to thwart the Clarendo-Bethes-Ilver Spring Faux Towne Centre Ye Olde Commons high-rise development that you so desperately want.

Enjoy your rental unit and your Zip Car!  And enjoy your 20s, too.  Me, I'm enjoying my driveway.[/quote]
