[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People shop more on line and sit-down restaurants are less common. So DC needs more density to support even the same level of retail and eating and drinking establishments. This is another important reason to bust through barriers to build a lot more housing.[/quote] Somehow, I think this is backwards. [b]Businesses usually open when there is a need. Supply and demand. You want to create demand. It doesn't usually work that way.[/b] If you hadn't noticed, people are purchasing online. All retail is struggling--suburban malls were losing stores right and left before the pandemic. This won't help--although people will likely be anxious to get out when this is over. You don't build high density in order to help the corner bar. It just doesn't work that way.[/quote] This + 1 million Check out Rockville Town Center in MoCo. Such a disaster, and this is exactly why. [/quote]
