Parks and rec centers use space from which developers can't profit directly.<br /><br />At least these groups have it half-right. They might oppose the plan, but they aren't against the massive influxes of new people.<br /><br />And they still haven't glommed onto the fact that the BoS doesn't really give a rat's rear end about our Quality of Life so long as there's money to be made from developers. You won't bet Masters of your own Destiny until Reston becomes a municipality.<br /><br />In the interim, I'm with Anon #1. The Convicts have already begun the process of looking for a new Penal Colony, hopefully one with some undevelopable land around it.<br /><br />No Growth is Smart Growth.The Convictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-22596627884905029532013-10-30T11:38:13.864-04:002013-10-30T11:38:13.864-04:00Lest there be a misperception, Reston 2020 did NOT...Lest there be a misperception, Reston 2020 did NOT object to the overall density or mix of uses; in fact, it saw the TOD development as a strength We think a properly developed urban core could add a lot to Reston; hence, the "B" on the Overview where these lofty goals are presented.<br /><br />NTL, pretty much the rest of the Plan undercut the development concept (such as too much"flexibility" leading away from a decent J:HH balance) or do not provide infrastructure & amenities important to Reston (eg--not enough congestion relief; too little open space, athletic fields, etc.). <br /><br />It is not a good Plan for sustaining Restonians' quality of life nor does it conform to Reston's vision and values.
