[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You have no idea what you are talking about. I work in the industry and trust me we are doing fine with Discovery leaving.

Further, a developer just brought the Discovery building for $70 million and is doing $30 million of renovations so you can just stop with your sky is falling post. I'm tired of your agenda and am reporting you to Jeff.[/quote]

Excuse me but you are the one with the agenda. I hate to see anyone, let alone a single mother being mislead about such a substantial investment. I am more than happy to provide additional sources too not just insults to posters who do not agree with me. I have lived in several areas in MD, my DH lived in Arlington years ago and we've lived in other states as well. We have a pretty good handle on what is going on.

There is serious concern about Silver Spring with Discovery's departure. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/discoverys-departure-is-shot-across-the-bow-for-silver-spring-state-and-region/2018/01/12/fb11452e-f6fe-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.62b0c2674f3b.

You can go look at houses in the Clarendon, Courthouse and North Arlington areas to see what they were selling for in 2005 and what those same houses sold for in 2017/2018 then compare that Silver Spring.  [/quote]

This is an old article before the developer invested $100 million in the building and before amazon announced its move to the area (at least informally). This will help any of the small editing houses in the area since amazon is heavily investing in tv.

Discovery had 1300 people in the building and around 200 are staying. To say that the departure of 1100 people will sink SS is laughable. Discovery was important to the development of DTSS 15 years ago but it is now a major transportation hub with lots of companies and obviously is very close to jobs in DC. Look at the apartments SFG neighborhoods around the DTSS. Sorry your info is old and outdated.

Anyway sounds like OP is moving to my hood, Takoma Park. Welcome OP![/quote]

Sorry I misread- looks like you are visiting both areas - enjoy your visit! Both great areas and great to raise families in. [/quote]
