[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] What you don't seem to get is that when you have young kids, you don't have much free time to do all the things you think of as "good stuff." Young ones need a fairly consistent schedule. And for many of us, a comfortable, leafy, safe environment is the good stuff and a happy home life is the best stuff of all. We can always take a trip in to see a museum or eat at the latest trendy eatery.[/quote]
