[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that Northern VA will become the Silicon Valley of the East.  Right now, there is so much tech investment in the area. I also think that the rest of the DMV will fine, though they will look different.   [/quote]

Zero chance. Point me to the universities that will feed it. Answer? Zero.[/quote]

Hopkins, College Park and UVA are all close enough to become major feeders for a Silicon Valley East Coast. All three are major research universities, especially the first one and Hopkins already has a sizable presence in/near DC.

As for the future of the metro area, one only needs to look at Baltimore, Philadelphia and the rust belt cities to know cities absolutely can wither away. What does it mean for DC? Well, the Fed is still here and it's not going anywhere, even if it drastically downsizes. Which I do expect will happen. And it's not just the downsizing, is the elimination of funding for so many NGOs and non profits and research think tanks that will also have implications for the local housing markets. [/quote]
