[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are all missing the obvious point, I'm afraid. There is poor retail in CCDC (and in Cleveland Park, despite its Metro) because there is insufficient parking to attract customers. The neighborhood residents within walking distance can only support so much. There will never be vibrant high end retail or food without abundant parking (like Union Market) or gazillions of residents crammed into small spaces. I live a ten minute drive from Cleveland Park and I avoid going there because of the parking nightmare. That's why half the restaurant spaces are vacant despite being surrounded by millionaire households far as the eye can see. [/quote]

Isn't it the case that today's city dwellers don't drive anymore?  They walk, bike, use public transportation or get a Zipcar.   :lol:

At least that's the argument that the planners make to reduce statutory off-street parking requirements for new buildings and that the developers embrace to argue that they should be subject to even fewer off-street parking obligations.  [/quote]
