[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. [b]Central not Chick Fil-A.[/b]  [/quote]
I had to laugh at this. Pre-baby, eating at Central consumed about 80% of my eating-out, city-dweller budget.  I mean, I got pampered there like nobody's business because of all the hours my arse clocked in on their barstools.  You can feed a small village with all the free gougeres I've scarfed down there.

Guess what? Since I've had DS 7 months ago, I've been there a grand total of once, which involved major coordination of "I put the baby to bed, then you take over, I go have dinner and try to be home before midnight".  Sure, I may miss my freewheeling life once in a while, but I don't live like that any more. And no, I don't feel like bringing the baby to Central except a brief nip-in to show him around.

I ought to move to the city for this? And I gotta laugh at the arrogance of you telling people what the "good stuff is".  Enlighten me, o wise one. Barf.[/quote]
