Notice things like we'll now have to pay for parking on Saturdays. That'll be great for businesses in places like Bethesda -- consumers will just move on to nearby DC or VA instead for their shopping.[/quote]

No joke. I quit going to downtown Bethesda many years ago thanks to the horrendous parking situation much less hassle to go to Tysons even with the extra driving[/quote]

Yeah, sure you did. You're paying an extra 4% there on your restaurant bill due to their higher restaurant sales tax.[/quote]

Np- I stopped as well. The restaurants are just not that good to deal with the parking. Bethesda is just like a mall, without being enclosed. DC is where you go for decent restaurants. [/quote]

That's fine, and I agree with you that Bethesda restaurants are pretty mediocre and you'll find better options in DC (parking in DC is even worse than Bethesda, though). It just didn't make sense for the PP to act as though trekking out to Tysons was some sort of cost cutting measure because of the cost of Bethesda parking.[/quote]
