[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point it seems like you people would rather see the town center fail than add even one new kid to the schools.[/quote]
I don't want my tax money going to help shore up a business that can't stay a float without.[/quote]

Allowing builders to build more housing in Rockville Town Center, which will put more potential customers within walking distance of the retail in Rockville Town Center (and the surrounding area), is not using your tax money to help shore up a business that can't stay afloat without it.[/quote]
You are delusional.  The stores in TC are expensive.  Why the heck would someone buy expensive groceries at Dawsons market when there is a cheaper Giants close by? Why would they buy a shirt for $50 at a boutique in TC when you can go to a bigger brand store to but a shirt for $20?  Yes, giving those failing businesses my tax money to stay afloat is a waste of money.

Do you think most people who live around TC can afford pricey things?  I live near TC and bought one thing at Dawson's out of convenience but it was so damned expensive I will never shop there again.  Other than that one item, I have never bought a clothing item in one of their boutiques because it's too expensive. Those stores hardly ever have customers in them, not because there aren't enough residents near TC but because most people who live near TC can't afford or don't want to pay ridiculous prices for consumer goods.

Put in a store that will attract people, like an Apple store or even Sephora, or any store that has mass appeal, not the little boutiques that hardly anyone around here would shop at. Save that for Bethesda. TC is not a rich person's hang out place.[/quote]

The Woodley Gardens shopping center put in a “Corner Market and Pharmacy” near Carmen’s.  I went there once and the prices were so high that I’d rather shop at Walgreens.  Check out that place.  I bet they’ll be out of business next year sonetime.  Why do these places with super high prices keep coming to Rockville?  This one isn’t even at the town center.[/quote]
