[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retail and foot traffic will fail when areas charge for parking. Paying for parking is like paying for shipping. We hate it. 
Rockville town center has this problem and so does National Harbor. 
If these places want people to come and wander around on weekends to eat and shop there needs to be incentives. Paying to park when other places are free isn’t it. [/quote]

The wharf seems to doing quite well and it was built in a bad part if DC. Probably just as dangerous if not more dangerous than oxon hill. [/quote]

I wouldn’t compare it to the Wharf but I would compare it somewhat to Navy Yard. Before Nats Park was built it was a real dump. It still has excessive crime because of the housing developments in SE (there have been lawsuits about them, they have the most crime, esp violent gun and trafficking crimes, among all of DC’s section 8 and it is a severe ongoing problem). People however still want to live across the street from that. [/quote]

They only see the shiny new. They clearly don’t care that people occasionally get shot. [/quote]
