[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ruh-ruh! What happened here? 
Washington Business Journal(?)— A Dallas company has backed out of a contract to buy a Silver Spring office building less than three months after winning approval to redevelop the site with multifamily.

Already backing out of contract…[/quote].

The Citizens Association filed lawsuits asking the court to review the decision making process of the planning commission…which sounds like one promising tool in the toolbox for residents along University and in the county in general.[/quote]

It's a promising tool for spending a lot of civic association money on lawyers before ultimately losing. Meanwhile, the building is sitting there vacant, and the residents of Americana Finnmark, who were supposed to finally get a traffic signal on Georgia as part of the development, will have to keep waiting. Yay?[/quote]

What makes you think that the homeowners and associations would lose?

How many units have they built in Arlington?

At the very least they’d likely get a more reasonable outcome, once negotiated.[/quote]
