Cyrus: White Flint and Science City cannot be compared. Science City has national importance to protect the future of American scientific prominence and provide a stable economic base for Montgomery County for the forseeable future. Science City is paramount to the sucess of the region and the nation. White Flint is less important and revolves around building a new city around a Metro station. It is inevitable that White Flint is to be redeveloped but not comparable to how important Science City is to America. There are however forces pushing against Science City - the ACT/anti-growth movement and other entities that do not have the best interests of Montgomery County in heart. Build Science City!
