[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, it's right next to DC and Tysons. Is there any reason to think there would be much demand for a downtown area full of crap?[/quote] There would be a downtown area full of stuff just like in Vienna if the retail in McLean were along 123 (Dolley Madison) rather than off a spur (Chain Bridge). One of the CIA's conditions to moving to McLean in the 60s was that a spur be built so that there would be less commercial/retail activity close to the Agency. So the retail in McLean is largely for locals, while the thousands of commuters on 123 drive by all the retail in Vienna. So there's more stuff there, but also considerably more congestion. [/quote]
