[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tyson’s is the one place in the city that has so much potential in terms of having 1)infinite shopping, 2)offices for work, 3)housing, 4)metro to both airports. It’s all squandered in a weird unwalkable mix of car sewers

Tysons could be DC’s little Manhattan if it wanted to[/quote]

Ick!  Tysons is not in the city.  It is where people who are scared of cities go to be boring.[/quote]

It’s a mall that acquired a good number of office towers to warrant construction of residential towers and support a certain number of restaurants and daily routine errand businesses, medical offices, etc.  In other words, it’s becoming a self sufficient town, not just one with one specific purpose, and definitely not just a weekend hangout place like many suburban town centers.  It’s not up to human scale yet, but further development of residential towers will likely introduce more pedestrian overpasses and expanding little town streets like the Boro and area around Cap One, Wegmans.  It’s not a city, but it’s a town, it’s no longer just a mall or a large office park.  [/quote]
