[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was dying before Covid.  Expensive stores, no parking. [/quote]

This. [/quote]

There was a ton of parking there. Every building had a lot.[/quote]

Only in buildings where you had to pay.  Cannot be bothered with that.  [b]Want to pull up, go in the store, and leave and not pay[/b].[/quote]

This is only possible in places where (a) land is cheap, AND (b) there aren't a lot of other people who also want to be able to do that with their cars. Land in Friendship Heights is not cheap.[/quote]

That is ridiculous.  I live in Chicago and free parking at big chain stores is not that hard to find, even in expensive areas.  Lots of stores/banks along Wisconsin have free parking, even down to Glover Park.  Convenient free parking is expected in an area like FH.  Think Rodman’s, Trader Joe’s, etc.  Parking validation and 2-hour time limits are OK (3 hours for theatre).[/quote]

If you live in Chicago, why are you expressing opinions about parking in Bethesda and Friendship Heights?

People complain endlessly about the parking in Bethesda, specifically because sometimes they have to pay to park and sometimes there is no space in the nearest parking garage so they have to park in a different parking garage and walk 5 minutes.[/quote]
