You are delusional.  The stores in TC are expensive.  [b]Why the heck would someone buy expensive groceries at Dawsons market when there is a cheaper Giants close by?[/b] 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]

Why would anyone shop at Whole Foods in Kentlands when there is a cheaper Giant close by?

If you think that the City of Rockville should not subsidize Dawson's, fine. It's nonetheless a fact that more people living around Rockville Town Center means more potential customers within walking distance for retail around Rockville Town Center, whatever that retail happens to be. And the people in retail location are aware such things -- see, for example, the Target in Bethesda.[/quote]
Oh my.. you don't know the people who live in Kentlands I take it. That's a pretty expensive area, and yes, many shop at WF.  TC area home prices are nowhere near Kentlands.

More "potential" customers doesn't equate to actual customers if the housing units there aren't the type to draw in the kinds of folks who would shop at over priced stores.

Target is a draw. Even Kentlands folks shop at Target. I would love a Target at TC. But we don't need over priced boutique-y stores that hardly anyone shops at, and I certainly don't want my tax dollars going to shore those stores up.  Even the Kentlands shopping center has stores that most people in Rockville would shop at - 5 Below, Michaels, etc... You know what they don't have a lot of... boutiquey stores.[/quote]
