[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does this look familiar, arlington was a car dependent crap hole much worst than tysons now. I mean really dirty looking where at least tysons has high end and finished office spaces before the metro is going in.

Have you ever looked at a map of Arlington? It is made up of small residential and commercial blocks. In the 50s and 60s before all the Metro redevelopment, close to 80% of public school kids in Arlington walked to school. Try doing that in Tysons today. [/quote]

You are comparing just one Arlington neighborhood to Tyson's, but ok. Rosslyn in 1967 was more walkable that Tyson's today, hands down. There were sidewalks, skywalks, and retail along the major streets. Pre-1967 Rosslyn was even more walkable, when it resembled an old town with small blocks that were bulldozed to build the Rosslyn of the 60s and 70s. Your photos don't really support your argument.

Once again, I encourage you to look at a map of Arlington. Compare it with a map of Tyson's. The residents in Lyon Village walked to Clarendon to shop in the 40s, the 60s and they still do today. Try doing that in Tyson's. Can you walk from your single family home in McLean or Pimmit Hills to Tyson's. No. [/quote]

That didn't happen until they did the smart growth around the metro stops.
