@Ben 'Having residential units here that sell for $2M - $3M each will bring the District far more tax revenue.

So would putting businesses in residential areas. But that's not why we have a District government. The residents have to come first. While I agree that in the case of the Canal Road station it's clear that it's highest and best value isn't as a gas station, that doesn't mean we don't need gas stations in the District.

In any case, my point was that at least half of us are buying our gas in Va. because it's cheaper there. If the District really wanted to take in more gas tax revenue, it would lower it's rate below Virginia's and not only recapture the District residents' gas purchases, but some of Virginia's.
