It won't.  The two developers (Montgomerys and Smoots - who claim there are too many "stakeholders" - but everyone knows that is BS) own a majority of the never-touched stripped malls are too cheap to renovate.  Downtown McLean is nothing more than an investment, left to wither away, rather than spring for a few bucks to renovate.  I would not be surprised if they have a hand in the Safeway/Starbucks/Vinson Hall area strip mall (in one capacity or another - maybe not under their names, of course), just like downtown. Believe me, it will be a few years before the old people wither away, just like the strip malls - and the young families take a stand for their community.  The old people want ZERO change - no property tax dollars toward schools, no improvements, nothing.  They are quite happy to have their old people taxes frozen, living off of the younger generation.  Of course, no one likes to say this out loud. [/quote]
