[quote=Anonymous]I always considered FH a place where you drive and park, even when I lived on the red line and needed to visit one of the department stores.  It's pretty much a semi urban shopping mall collection.  You drive to a specific department store and park in its lot to walk right to its entrance, like you do in any suburban shopping mall. Then you usually just either go home or drive to another store and park there, you don't just leave your car in the parking lot and spend hours hanging out there and walking around from place to place.  That's why they built places like Reston and Mosaic for suburbanites to park for several hours and walk around from place to place. If you don't make it a town center that's human scale friendly either real like Georgetown or Downtown that were not built around the car, or the fake ones like Reston/Mosaic where you park and walk on narrow "town" streets without having to cross busy streets or parking lot areas, then you don't get street life.
