[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having learned nothing from the abysmal financial drain by the city for the Takoma Junction project, the city is embarking on an ambitious upzoning project to attract a luxury residential developer to build condos on the site of the Washington Adventist Hospital. First step is $60K spending by the city for planning a new streetscape along Maple Ave meant to make this project attractive to developers. What are the chances this can succeed in a way that can pay back taxpayers for the "investment"? [/quote]

The city roads can't handle the added traffic from developments like this.  Getting out of TP via Carroll to University is already a nightmare.[/quote]

Too bad. It's hilarious how TP libs are always the first to vote for things like up zoning MoCo everywhere and for terrible local pols who'll do it, but TP citizens are only want it if it happens in other peoples' backyards while they get to live in their protected little enclave.  Total hypocrisy.  Bulldoze the crap outta TP and up zone it all.  All the progressives want MoCo 2050, so give it to 'em starting with Takoma Park.[/quote]
