[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious.  Who knew someone could hate Mosaic so much.  There has to be some back story to the Mosaic hater.  Whatever.  It's a shopping district that has some good restaurants (finally) and some town homes that look nice and interesting.  If the hater doesn't like it, she doesn't have to live there.  It's a good thing there are lots of different neighborhoods (Some organic and some inorganic, apparently) to live in.  I wouldn't want to live in Mosaic because it doesn't suit my needs but I'm glad it's there because the stores and restaurants are convenient for me and it sure is nicer than what was there before.[/quote]

Can you explain the Mosaic District booster who randomly starts ragging on Arlington?  I find that much weirder.

To me it sounded like the "hater" just wished it had more of a community feel. Not that it was some horrible place. [/quote]

Ragging?  Like this: "Good job of twisting PP's comments, but inaccurate insofar as Mosaic is concerned. One more reason why Falls Church is appreciating more than Arlington now."

That actually seems more like an unbiased relative comparison of potentially substitutable options ... ie, consumer could opt to live in region A or region B.  Region B has improved its desirability lately which has driven market appreciation at a higher rate (though still lower absolute value).

The bit about Arlington high-rises did sound a bit more antagonistic ... though I'd agree with the sentiment that the "corpocracy" argument is a little useless as every development in the modern age is done with economic motives.  The only real communities are those mature neighborhoods that existed pre-commercialization ... which is why absolute property values in parts of Arlington/MoCo are so high .... community + proximity to commerce.  But the relative absence of that dynamic in Mosaic doesn't change the many positive attributes ... also watch for the Dunn Loring Woods neighborhoods (per PP's note) to start popping as well since they do offer the true neighborhood feel and are near the commercial developments.[/quote]
