[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing w/ Mosaic is that it's ... well ... in Merrifield, not somewhere more attractive or attractively located.

So the comparison at all but a superficial level is off the mark.

I go out there for my kid's soccer practice. Mosaic District is nice- but it's just a giant mall you have to drive too and park in a lot.  There is no walkability surrounding it.  It's not like a city neighborhood like the Clarendon-Ballston corridor or Betesda that have the same stuff but also single family houses all along the corridor that are walking distance and 5 Metro stops.

It certainly does not have the walkability of Rosslyn-Clarendon-Ballston (which in turn does not have the walkability of DC) but it is not true that you have to drive there.  I have biked there - you can get there pretty easily from the W&OD on the one hand, or via a variety of service lanes and back roads from Annandale, City of Fairfax, etc.  You can also walk it from the Dunn Loring metro and from the developments adjacent to the metro - the aesthetics of that walk have a way to go, and  you still have to cross Rte 29, but it is definitely doable.
