[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was never the concentration of cheap 1950s housing with @900 SF specifically built for returning vets in McLean that there is in PH.  That has dictated the area's fate to date because the cheap homes begat what other posters have described as the "brand new ugly." ...[/quote]

That's a valid observation - shitshacks in McLean are typically larger than shitshaks in PH. 
And due to that  and "getting into McLean no matter what" obsession allows them to stay as is while shitshacks in PH are slowly being replaced with new builds. [/quote]

I wonder if you realize how much new construction there is in McLean, particularly 22101.  But it's a different approach than in PH.  When you are selling more expensive new homes to buyers, you are emphasizing that it's already a high-end area that people are buying into.  In PH, the approach is to acknowledge that it mostly looks like crap today, but to focus on the teardowns and claim it's all going to look completely different in 20 years when the cleansing is supposedly complete.
