Talking Turkey on Mixed Use Developments

City of Falls Church
“It was only supposed to be a quick update to the big project proposed for the busy corner of Broad and West. But Times readers took it and ran with it, posting 39 comments as of this writing, showing that the project has inspired a very high and intense level of interest and concern.
The comment thread has focused on some of the usual issues — concerns about traffic and congestion, as well as the impacts on the City’s small schools. Yet commenters also have gone beyond that, and expressed a fear of loss — a loss of some favorite businesses, yes, but also a loss of the virtues of smallness.”
~Writes Stephen Siegel of the Falls Church Times
