No doubt I will state that the county has yet again dismissed our feeble protests as the supervisors consummate their marriage to developers..in public, no less. And then I will lament the fact that it's a bit late to get this horse back in the barn. But then I shrug, decide to stop worrying and learn to love the development, and wait to see what's coming next to our little Tysons-West.

That plan says to protect mature trees and creates a "goal" of 20% of open space. Pardon me, but I don't see anything but concrete & glass. <br /><br />Thank you so much, Boston Properties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-21582549527449506022014-06-27T15:33:04.779-04:002014-06-27T15:33:04.779-04:00If "the two blocks function in a compatible, ...If "the two blocks function in a compatible, well-designed and efficient manner", we will soon see lots of new little baby blocks running around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
