Arlington literally has the nation's defense HQ there with the Pentagon... It's still a suburb of DC, whether or not you want to admit it. Amazon isn't going to give it magic "city" powers suddenly...[/quote]

What are city powers?  Density, walkability, a concentration of amenities.

Much of Arlington has that already, and HQ2 will mean more of that.

City/county boundaries matter to local politics, to your tax bill, to schools (some people need to be on the DC side of Takoma, say, to keep access to a charter)

But for most things it does not matter.

You can walk to Georgetown from Rosslyn.  Try doing that from Deanwood or Shepard Park. [/quote]

Most of Arlington is literally the suburbs. The only walkable areas are from Ballston to Rosslyn. The other 85% of Arlington is all suburban streets.

I know some of you folks love your Arlington and all, but stop being delusional. Basically all of South Arlington, you either need a car or bus to get around. [/quote]
