[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So they're non-gentrifiers who are causing gentrification? With their bikes?[/quote]
Thanks for confirming that bike lanes don’t generate revenue for retail businesses.

Oh, it's you. Your posts are boring, and there is no point in engaging with them.[/quote]
You cannot seem to make up your mind. Not worth engaging, except you cannot stop replying.

Just like the story that bikes are good for business, except for when they aren’t. Which is conveniently when you want to tell a different story. [/quote]
