Prince George's has several bright shiny objects, 15 to be exact. Some of these shiny objects are orange, some blue, and most green. Yet the County has not leveraged them to make the County more desirable. Instead, they have promoted development at locations inaccessible to mass transit like the old Capitols Center, Bowie Town Center, and National Harbor. At least the Konterra property will have MARC access.

While the County has access to a highly professional planning organization in the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, there are things that are beyond the control of planners. While street crime gets more than its share of the blame (especially inside the Beltway), a lot of the problems have to do with the politics in the County. The political landscape in Prince George's is very different than that in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, or Montgomery.
