[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may sounds bad, but I am not looking forward to the Purple Line opening.  Bethesda Row is already congested with people and Purple line will make it exponentially worse.

I also worry we'll see a lot more crime and bad people. BR is, at present, a pretty safe, wealthy enclave where teens can roam freely without worry.  Sure there's crime, but it's mostly not locals. We've all seen the Nike Store robbery videos.  [b]Purple line will be low cost transit for people in lower income areas [/b]and that isn't always a great combination.

It's also a giant waste of public money, but I guess that ship has sailed.  Ugh.  Just wish it wasn't happening.

Also, poor Tacombi with that hideous construction plaza blocking all foot traffic for years on end.  I hope they are getting a rent concession.

Can you explain how you think the Purple Line will be different from the transit line that already stops in Bethesda, the Red Line, or from the bus lines that already go there?[/quote]

Just look at a map.[/quote]

Then stop arguing that you are not racist/classist. You (anonymously) admit it right here but then feign indignation any time someone calls you out. Why not just move yourself to a gated community and stop whining to the rest of us? We don’t owe you anything at all.[/quote]

Are there even any gated communities in Montgomery County for this person to move to?[/quote]
