[quote=Anonymous]I can understand the concern. This has happened in Downtown Silver Spring. It has been wonderful having Whole Foods and all the new, big restaurants in the last 10-15 years. But we also have mom and pop ethnic restaurants that make the character of the neighborhood that are struggling to survive. And the mom and pop businesses are slowly disappearing. Some we are glad to see go. Others not so glad. DTSS business owners were originally told that "a rising tide lifts all boats." But that hasn't proven the case, at all. It is best to be cautious about the effect of gentrification. Urban planners can build in protection for small business owners.[/quote]
