Jim, I think if that one company already has financing they should continue with their plans. The key is the financing. That project is much, much farther along than the Poplar Point project was.

SW is a bit of a mega-project. I really don't have any personal problem with the mega-project per se. There are examples of successful mega-projects in a walkable urban environment in Silver Spring and downtown Rockville. Those projects were funded during the credit bubble earlier this decade. From here going forward though, it will be a different story for at least a decade, if not the rest of our lives. Our land use planning will need to reflect this new reality.
