[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much of the downtown is abandoned, which is so pathetic. But unless and until the landowners decide to build, there's nothing to be done. They hold the cards and they will decide what is a return on their investment, and Fairfax County Planning and Zoning are the only ones with the leverage to accept or reject their plans, at whatever height, at whatever density. I just hope the builders respect the Central Business plan (or should I say aspiration) to a great degree, since it has been in the works for decades. [/quote] There's a difference between vacant and abandoned. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any area in downtown McLean that has been abandoned. There is also new development currently taking place, such as the redevelopment of the old Safeway into the Lidl/Matchbox/Big Buns site, whatever the workers are currently doing at the old Boston Market, and the new apartment building now approved at 6707 Old Dominion.
