De-construct White Flint. Sounds like a great idea on the surface, but isn't the mall historic at this point? Seriously ... there's a reason why it's called the White Flint sector plan AND why the development in that area HAS been successful and why there's now a need for more housing and other amenities around there. I remember going to see the mall when it first opened ... and driving by cows grazing in the fields between the beltway and the new mall ... which seemed so far in the middle of nowhere. Development around it needs to be encouraged and embraced, but we need to think long and hard before we allow the destruction of the very place which made all the rest possible. Even in suburban Maryland, historic and historic resources are important. You might even argue that being so few there, they are even more important than in a place like Washington which is brimming over with historic resources. Also, economically, if anyone thinks White Flint isn't thriving ... just try driving into its parking lot this coming holiday season ...
