So do you think the stadium will be in Prince William?

River Farm is historically protected (limiting redevelopment) and it was subsequently taken off the market due to improved finances at the American Horticultural Society (which owns it).

At least we can count on the American Horticultural Society to keep an eye on the trees...

Good, he can go. Maryland doesn’t want him.

The amount of concrete at the front is tacky. Very tacky.

This. Because of my job, I know a lot of high net worth folks. In terms of the upper, upper bracket, the MoCo exodus is real and I haven’t seen anything like this in my career. The wealthy don’t want to be in Maryland / MoCo any longer and are opting for DC proper, and NoVa.


Virginia has no estate tax. Expect more moves now that these Boomers' kids are growth and they are staring at their mortality.

This is clearly an estate/succession play by Snyder. Plus he definitely wants a subsidized government stadium and Republicans in VA are willing to grab their ankles.

I assume this is step one on him asking for VA residents to pay for a new stadium. Boo.

Oh no, I hope this doesn’t mean he’ll stay longer.

It was never a status to live in Potomac. Almost all gaudy new money houses. Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Georgetown and Upper NW DC are actual status addresses.
