[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It remains to be seen whether RTC or Tysons, or White Flint will be retrofitted properly.  Everything we've seen up until this point has shown that they're incapable of executing.  [b]Also, it's a bit of a fallacy to think that tomorrow's "biotech execs" are going to be as enamored of McMansions and sprawl as today's Baby Boomers are.[/b] [/quote]

I bet that most people, "biotech execs" or not, would rather live closer to where they work. So if someone works at the 270 corridor and their spouse works around there too, why wouldn't they live nearby??[/quote]

Because it sucks and a reverse commute is manageable so why not live where all the good stuff is? I'm talking about the city in case you are wondering what 'good stuff' actually denotes. Central not Chick Fil-A.  [/quote]

Sorry but if I have a family and work somewhere in the burbs where there are good schools and available nice homes, why the hell would I move further out for the sake of living near good restaurants and museums? This is all about priorities.  If I want to go to Central, I'll just drive or metro there. It. does. not. take. that. long.  And for crying out loud, believe it or not, some people prefer living in the suburbs and do not think it sucks.  Signed, someone who loved living in the city for years before having kids and now  loves her neighborhood in the suburbs.[/quote]
