[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming soon on to 4 Corners once the county is supporting density without parking.

If the corridor plan transforms Four Corners into San Francisco's Excelsior District, that will actually be a success for Montgomery County.[/quote]

DP.  If we want Excelsior, Glenmont to Wheaton is the better comparison and better community opportunity.  Or Wheaton to Kensington, though shorter, and certain to generate even greater opposition.

[b]Four Corners to Wheaton is all about developers' low-hanging fruit from a profit perspective.[/b][/quote]

Yup, it avoids the difficult and the ethnic areas so they can build the same cookie cutter project that appeals to the same cookie cutter demographic.[/quote]

Please tell us where "the difficult and the ethnic areas" are.[/quote]

White Oak and Central Wheaton.  They would rather build up a new area rather than redevelop an old one that doesn't have the demographics they want for their over priced bougie apartments.[/quote]

They want live bougie without having to earn the money to buy a single family home…if gentrification is the cost, that’s what it takes to be able to ride their bike to the local coffee shop.  Current residents of neighborhoods be damned.[/quote]

So they're poor, and they're gentrifiers, and somehow this is damning people who live in neighborhoods, because bikes. Also, coffee shops.[/quote]

One of the main problems is that they aren't gentrifiers.  They love gentrification but they don't want to put the effort or risk into gentrifying.  [/quote]
