Not the PP.

Guess what, having an additional high rise in the area is not going to save RTC either.  [b]You sound as if this new development will be what RTC needs to keep it afloat.  Not likely.[/b]

And, maybe it is a small part of the rM cluster, but these ‘small’ parts add up to dozens of new students over time.  Which the already overcrowded school system cannot handle.  [/quote]

Why isn't it likely? Why wouldn't it help RTC to have more people who live within walking distance?[/quote]
DP.. because the stores that keep opening there are not the type that will draw lots of people to shop there. The boutique-y stores and Dawson's Market are too expensive. People might go to Dawson's Market if they are in a bind, and need one or two ingredients, but most people who are not rich don't want to shop at over priced grocery stores. Those units being built won't be bought  up by people who can afford to shop at those over priced stores on a regular basis.[/quote]

It is not a requirement of Rockville Town Center that the tenants must all be expensive boutique-y stores forever more.[/quote]
But that's the kind of shops the city seems to want. [/quote]

The City of Rockville does not own Rockville Town Center. Federal Realty does.

The city has a subsidy for those small shops to get funding to stay afloat.[/quote]
