[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's just talk to get people focused on the number of jobs and the amount of wealth in Tysons, as well as to get current employers to stay in Tysons as it attempts to transform itself into something more urban.

Um, they don't need to get current employers in Tysons to stay in Tysons.  New employers keep coming.  Read the article--DC business leaders view Tysons as a major threat.[/quote]

But also this:

[i]But Pedro Ribeiro, spokesman for D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, scoffed at talk of a rivalry. “We don’t consider Fairfax County to be our competition,” he said. “New York City is our competitor. San Francisco is our competitor. They’re not even in the same league.”

Ribeiro was not even aware that four Silver Line stations were coming to Tysons; he thought there would only be one. (The District has 40.)

“I think somebody really needs to go look up in a dictionary what the definitions of suburban and urban are,” Ribeiro said. “And then maybe we can have a discussion.”
