[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love friendship heights but am increasingly worried. I hope the lord and Taylor can hold on! I wish DC would put some resources toward attracting and keeping retail alive there. [/quote] I'm not sure I can think of a worse use for tax dollars than subsidizing Lord & Taylor. Far more people now live EOTP, and they now have many more options for shopping that aren't so far away. Even if the richest DC residents are still nearby, the balance of purchasing power that keeps stores in business has shifted. Meanwhile, NIMBYs prevent nearly anything from changing in nearby neighborhoods. If people near Friendship Heights want nicer things, they should allow more homes to be built WOTP.[/quote]
