It's almost like people who want to pave over everything don't understand so much about history or where their food comes from.

I also know of a number of blighted shopping centers in eastern MoCo, one right by Glenmont metro, that could be redeveloped into successful townhouse / condo / retail developments of there was any desire on the part of the owners. [/quote]

The Glenmont shopping center is actually doing very well. It just looks rundown. But yes, if the owners wanted to redevelop it, they could.[/quote]

If the county or state is going to use eminent domain for anything at all then they should be using it to purchase the Glenmont shopping center rather than to bulldoze SFH for the stupid HOT Lane beltway expansion. Glenmont should be redeveloped into a walkable and revitalized commercial district/transportation hub with improved condo/apartment options. We need to be increasing housing supply, not decreasing.[/quote]
