[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a bargain, but it's nice. Condo prices always need to be balanced with the condo fees - high fees mean lower prices. That means it's probably not a great investment, but you'd have to see if it is better than renting.

It looks like lots of Boston apartments - very compact but convenient.

I am not sure what the long term future is for City Center. The smash and grab robberies at the luxury stores are concerning (Chanel hit twice recently) and with the arena moving out of DC that may make the whole are less lively. It's too bad, because it had promise.[/quote]

I hope the city council just doesn’t give up on downtown. It took years of planning and sweat and tears to bring nice retail back downtown. But it seems priorities lay elsewhere. [/quote]

+1.  If we give in, the city will be in greater decline.  We should be glad that City Center was developed, and cheer for it to survive.

We also need to give at-risk teenagers more to do - let's fund after-school, evening, and weekend programs.  It's often teenagers who are committing these crimes, including car-jacking.  Who knows why their parents are allowing this, but presumably the parents are overwhelmed with managing their own teens, and need support.  I saw a news story about a smash and grab at the Bethesda Nike store, and the thieves in the photos are clearly very young and presumably came there via Metro.[/quote]
