[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly back on topic I do feel like this is a bit of a bait and switch because when people complained about the size of the buildings going up on Wisconsin (because maybe we wanted more of a human scale and less of Rosslyn 2) we were told not to worry because the development cap would prevent Wisconsin from becoming a street canyon.

Now they are like “oh we’ve maxed out the development cap already, guess we have to raise it”[/quote]

You think there shouldn't be tall buildings in downtown Bethesda on top of the Metro and Purple Line stations?[/quote]

They hope that politicians and the executives they appoint won't say one thing to achieve an objective and then do another or promise something for the same without coming through.  The populace is easily manipulated.

Devlopers (and businesses, in general) have a much more pragmatic take, buying influence to be on the front end of such promises and positioning themselves to profit, accordingly.[/quote]
