"Between this and the Scorched-Earth Safeway in Tenleytown, it's as though retailers and planners are forget the good urban solutions that are available already. Obviously the corporation wants to cut costs, but the government shouldn't be subsidizing bad planning."

This project is different from the Tenleytown Safeway. Tenleytown is much more central, so high-density development makes sense there. Wheaton is a suburb, so it is better suited to a mix of land uses.

I actually 100% agree that these subsidies shouldn't be a priority for the County, but the overall tone of the post suggests that a Costco shouldn't be there at all which I think is incorrect.
