[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOVA caught up, that’s what happened. We had tons of local land, and it was relatively cheap for a long time. Eventually it became a place people wanted to live. [/quote] Yep. NOVA built up — and built convenient neighborhoods for the well-paid military contractors, and retail adapted to accommodate them. Check back in 40 or 50 years to see if it ages well. I’m guessing that it will — but the current Fed changes will have a huge impact, especially on Montgomery County, which tended to have the scientists and health care professionals who worked at NIH and Walter Reed. tldr: People tend to live near their jobs — when they can afford to do so. Looks like war is more lucrative than health. [/quote]
