"It's really disappointing that so many GGW contributors have such extremist views and don't seem to understand that compromise is more reasonable and realistic."

davids op ed, if I read it rightly, implied support for investments to increase capacity on I66 (DTR to Ballston I suppose) and work on interchanges on rte 7. Unlike some commentators here, he did not oppose all investment in highway capacity.

"Have you seen any of the projections for the growth anticipated for DC in the next 40 years? Where do you think all these people will go - in high rises in downtown Bethesda? "

Inevitably many will. Of those who dont, many will end up in the new developments in Loudoun and NW PWC - and the former at least will be able to commute to the Dulles area without needing an outer beltway. Others will end up on the south and east sides of the metro area (and also will likely not benefit from an outer beltway) I dont know how many upper MoCo can absorb - I suspect not many. And of course many of those will commute to lower MoCo or to DC. Or to Tysons. How much is it worth to make it easier for them to commute to the Dulles Corridor?
