[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The appeal if living far away on large plots of land ended. [/quote]

This. And even if that subset of buyers doesn't want to live in DC, they'd probably much prefer Arlington, McLean, or Alexandria over Great Falls.

When we were looking, our realtor tried to show us several houses in Great Falls, and I shut that down very quickly. [b]People want walkability and transit,[/b] and Great Falls offers zero of that. [/quote]

Major generalization.  Perhaps you do, but those of us who actually live in Great Falls chose it precisely because of its large lots, privacy, huge green spaces, and [b]no [/b]metro/urban center.  Great Falls attracts people who enjoy a more rural feel and don't want to be living on top of one another in a more urban area.  You couldn't pay me to live any closer to DC, and especially not Arlington or Alexandria.  [/quote]

Might as well live in West Virginia[/quote]

Seriously. The whole "urban centers and metro stops are for the poors" is a last century ideal, dear.
