The is an old saying in Econ. Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. They would be stupid to sell for less if they can get more. If truly no one will buy it, then its overpriced. We will see. They don't have to sell for less than its worth to "contribute to the community." What utter shyte.

new owners of white ferry, new lease agreement.

property owners have the upper hand. if VA takes the property by imminent domain, that is theft. since then it would benefit a private company directly.

its not like taking property to make a road wider for a public project or utilities. they are taking property so a company can make money. hauling people across a river.


Who maintains the road on the va side?

It looks like Virginia will enact eminent domain.

Sorry, that response doesn’t cut it. Anyone who supports Trump also supports treason. So, yeah, you tell us everything we need to know about you with your treasonous Trump sign.

Why? So that residents of rural western Montgomery County can enjoy living with more through-traffic, which will of course require bigger roads, all of which will be paid for by Maryland taxpayers?


+1. Also there is the bridge at Point of Rocks.

Can't believe all the ferry drama. It was a such a gimmick anyway. Took more time to load and unload than to drive to Point of Rocks.

What's that old saying again? Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to post on DCUM and remove all doubt.

Reduced revenue doesn't help, but it's just a fight between two owners, both of which need each other, to determine who gets a bigger share of the revenue. The Virginia side property owner and the ferry owner both need to agree on how to split the revenue because they each own part of the whole of what's needed for the ferry to operate.

Hard to know who's being unreasonable without knowing the revenues and expenses involved.


Considering Rockland Farm was looking to increase the rent 4,000,000%, I'm solidly of the opinion that they're the bad guys here.

I'm saying White's Ferry is perfect either, but they're better than the other side.

Two problems with this. First, business did not fail. Second, who put the Trump sign up -- Ferry owner or VA land owner?


My understanding is that they're both Trumpers.
