Silver Line will be a boon to N.Va. economy, leaders hope
http://www.insidenova.com/news/arlington/silver-line-will-be-a-boon-to-n-va-economy/article_66c613f8-1026-11e4-8c01-001a4bcf887a.html


Metrorail’s Silver Line will boost Northern Virginia’s economy, real estate market, vitality and status, local business and political leaders say.

“I think it gives us a little more notoriety,” said Gerald Gordon, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. “You can’t be a major urban area without rail to the [international] airport and all the major markets, like Tysons.”

The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project’s first phase will inaugurate Silver Line service July 26 along 11.4 miles of track between Falls Church and Reston; a second phase, extending the line 11.7 miles to Route 772 in Loudoun County, is slated to begin service in 2018.

The new rail line has prompted a flurry of redevelopment proposals and was the nucleus around which the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors based the new Tysons Corner comprehensive plan, approved four years ago.

By allowing mixed-use developments of unlimited density within a quarter-mile of four new Metrorail stations there, supervisors hope to sextuple Tysons’ population, double its jobs and encourage people to live, work and play in what now is mostly a commercial area.

‘A Massive Change’

Fairfax County officials have approved several major Tysons redevelopment projects, including a 20-story office tower at 7900 Tysons One Place that overlooks Tysons Corner Station. Intelsat and Deloitte occupy the building, which is owned by Macerich.

Intelsat, a commercial-satellite services provider with offices in the glass tower’s 12th through 20th floors, recently relocated from its former offices in Northwest Washington, D.C.

The change has prompted both elation and anxiety from employees, said spokesman Dianne VanBeber.

Intelsat’s former building, located near the Van Ness Station on Metrorail’s Red Line, was overly large and sprawling, she said.

“We needed a new space where we could collaborate more effectively,” VanBeber said.

The old building had few retail and restaurant options nearby, but Tysons has a bewildering array, she said.

“From a lifestyle standpoint, this was such a massive change,” VanBeber said. “Everyone’s in shock a little bit.”

Many employees will use Metrorail to reach the Tysons building, VanBeber said. Until the Silver Line begins service, the company will continue running a shuttle bus to and from the Orange Line’s West Falls Church Station in south McLean, she said.

Some employees live in suburban Maryland along Interstate 270, and their commutes have worsened. Company leaders encourage employees who drive to telecommute and use flex-time scheduling to avoid peak traffic times, VanBeber said.

Bus Routes, Parking Pose Challenges

The Vienna Town Council recently approved installation of a new stretch of sidewalk along Maple Avenue, E., to provide a safer way for pedestrians to reach Tysons.

Vienna officials will monitor traffic-enforcement issues stemming from increased Tysons traffic and whether commuters are parking their cars on Vienna’s streets to take the Silver Line.

Metrorail’s Vienna Station on the Orange Line is located just southwest of the town’s border and Vienna officials long ago restricted parking on nearby streets to discourage commuters from leaving vehicles there, said Vienna Mayor Laurie DiRocco.

Parking also could become contentious in Tysons, which has only one 711-space temporary lot available for commuters at McLean Station.

Planners did not allow for parking around Tysons’ stations because they hoped to force Silver Line users to walk, bike or ride buses to the stations, said Michael Caplin, executive director of the Tysons Partnership.

Shopping-center owners are taking a wait-and-see approach regarding parking issues and may install gate arms to keep commuters’ vehicles from occupying spaces all day, he said.

Some property owners may hang plastic chains across their parking lots’ entrances until 10 a.m., while others have alerted towing companies about the possible need to remove vehicles, Caplin said.

New bus routes also are important ways of ferrying Silver Line passengers to Metrorail stations. Some Northeast Vienna residents, however, have been vexed by the addition of Fairfax Connector Route 432 through their neighborhoods.

“Whenever there’s change, as with Metro coming in, there’s nervousness about it,” DiRocco said. “There’s good and bad.”

Changes Coming for Housing, Businesses

Realtor Casey Margenau of Casey Margenau Fine Homes said the Silver Line generally will be good for the local real estate market, but those hoping to make a killing by flipping properties may have missed the boat.

“I believe that [the Silver Line’s value] is baked into prices already,” he said. “People already anticipate its being open. Houses near Metro already have had their appreciation.”

New housing in Tysons largely will be condominiums, which will appeal to first-time homebuyers and older people looking to downsize, Margenau said.

“Both groups are looking for homes that are walkable,” he said. “They want higher-quality, smaller lots that need a smaller amount of care.”

Developers in Tysons have been “very patient” in bringing housing inventory online and will continue that practice so as not to flood the market, he said.

Casey Samson of Samson Properties said proximity to Silver Line stations might boost prices by 2 to 3 percent, but other factors count for more.

“Buyers are looking for space, features, traffic flow, functionality, upgrades and schools,” he said. “Metro/transportation is about sixth or seventh on the list. The properties with the best schools are always the winners. They are easy to sell at a premium price.”

Commercial real estate also will be affected by the Silver Line, and Intelsat’s move to Tysons bodes well, Gordon said.

The Economic Development Authority’s mission is to fill the Fairfax’s office space, Gordon said. The county’s office vacancy rate is “very high” at around 18 percent, but it’s only 15 or 16 percent in Tysons Corner – because, in part, because the space is new and hasn’t had time to be filled, he said.

Retail offerings also will see changes. Automobile dealerships near Tysons Metrorail stations likely will disappear in favor of higher-density uses, but the fate of small shopping centers along Route 7 is uncertain, he said.

“As the number of residences grows, we will see relevant shopping, such as grocery stores,” Gordon said. “We’ll see a lot more small businesses. Whether they’ll drive out those small malls is something we’ll have to wait and see. The market will create demand for what it needs.”

The first stations on the Silver Line are slated to open to the public on July 26. (Graphic by Elisa Hernandez/Northern Virginia Media Services)

Not unless you have some sort of free parking.

I agree that it's expensive but probably makes sense dollar-wise for many.

All federal and many private employers subsidize the use of mass transit, from Metro to VRE to van pools. Only a dumbo turns down a free ride.

By the way, one of the nice things about retiring is that your auto insurance rates go through the floor. Why? Because you CAN'T be driving to work anymore. Asshats are paying through the nose to be on the road during rush hour, especially if you are driving into the District. Way to go, morons!

You must not actually live in Fairfax. Reston, Tysons, and Herndon are major work hubs. Its a big deal to get metro access for commercial real estate right now, its what the market wants.

So I guess Arlington deals with this problem too?

This idea that criminals will use the train to make their escape is more perceived than what it is real. There actually was a case when this exact situation occurred at Springfield Mall/Franconia Metro station, however all things are not equal. Springfield Mall had lax security back in the 1990s-2000s because the owners of the mall were not being proactive in maintaining the mall, they were essentially investors who had no intentions of renovating or attracting new tenants, and security was NOT a priority. Tysons is a different story, there is so much more at stake. Security will be a priority for sure.

I'm sorry, I don't really understand your point. Development has always been a main premise in the development of the Silver Line. You are acting like this is a bad thing. We want development to occur. If development does not occur, the Silver Line will not pay for itself.

Actually you are wrong even about that case. The crime in question was from 2 Woodbridge teenagers abducting an elderly woman, in their car. Let me repeat. They used a car and came from a place without metro right here in Virginia.

And like others pointed out, those afraid of metro crime, have never ridden metro. The people they are afraid of, you know "those people" are outnumbered 100:1 by 20 and 30somethings in suits.

Yeah, I was trying to find the exact news article on the Springfield Mall abduction and had no luck so I was just writing that based on my memory.

But yes, I ride Metro every day and I never have a problem with crime or shady people. Many of these negative perceptions come from people who never actually ride the Metro. One of the comments on the InsideNova article was the following:

"You can count on crime going up..Pentagon city was a great place to shop until the metro came along"

Really? The Metro was at Pentagon City at least 10 years before the mall was built! Before the mall there was no shopping, just an empty field. It clearly shows that people like to spread rumors. Metro is very safe in my opinion.

Oh you are adorable... By 2020 Tysons Corner is expected to be Generating $430 Million per year in total tax revenue. It will DEFINITELY pay for itself. In 2010 the FFX board of supervisors decided to adopt the plan to urbanize Tysons and so that opened the gateway to unlimited building density around Metro stations. This has raised the prices of many properties in Tysons.

I should probably stop responding to you, I bet you are a teenage boy who is sitting at home trolling on the internet and watching porn. Find something better to do.

Way to keep up. Phase-2 construction began months ago. The projected completion date is in 2018. But as many are simply too inadept to understand or appreciate, all such forward schedules are subject to modification as future circumstances may warrant or dictate.

I see the Silver Line opening as progress. It says so much about Northern Virginia's efforts to be greater than the stereotypical traffic clogged suburb. It also says a lot about sustainability and investment in the future. There is no doubt that the Silver Line will be a wild success.We will probably be seeing decreased traffic on many of Tysons roads (mainly Leesburg Pike and Chain Bridge) in the long term, just like what happened to Arlington with Wilson-Clarendon Blvd and Lee Highway. The Silver Line is a good thing, 47 years of planning and 5 years of construction was too long of a wait. Should have been out here 20 years ago.

No, the two words were merely used consecutively by a 1968 headline writer. The two words as a single concept have always referred to private sector government contracting firms whose headquarters used to be principally located near Beltway interchanges.

Depending on what year it is, actual fares defray 65-70% of Metro's operating costs. That's higher than for most other transit systems around the country, principally because Metro lacks a dedicated source of funding, and -- without any leverage at all -- must annually go begging to more than half a dozen unreliable local governments for money.

Agree. We don't know all the fine details and particulars, but we do know what the future in general is going too look like around here. The choices are to embrace and prepare for that future, or to be overwhelmed by it. Only the bozo nutcases will go with Option-B.

Bogus. Why do you morons even bother? Arlington population and employment declined during the 1970's. Since the opening of Metro to Ballston in December 1979, both have been growing strongly. For the details needed to correct and update your infantile misunderstandings, visit the website of the Arlington County Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development.

FALLS CHURCH, VA. (WUSA) - Thieves have been breaking into homes in Falls Church City and Arlington County by kicking in doors, slashing and breaking windows and walking through unlocked doors.

Police says there have been 10 between September 2 and October 7. They've occured in neighborhoods adjacent to Broadmont in the City of Falls Church and in Arlington between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. on various days of the week.

Many of the homes hit are near the East Falls Church Metro Station. Police believe the suspects may be using the Metro as an easy getaway.

Police say the suspects entered residences with and without alarms systems. Deputy Chief Mary Gavin says it appears that in a few cases the subjects cased the neighborhoods looking for an empty residence, where no one was home at the time of the incident. In one case, a backpack was left behind.

I resemble that statement. I don't have to know anything. I take my orders from Barry, Nancy, Sharon, and their friends too. If anybody argues with me I'll just call them a racist.

Police Apprehend Suspects in Car Thefts, Break-Ins

By FALLS CHURCH TIMES STAFF

September 17, 2010

The following information from Deputy Chief Mary Gavin was sent to Broadmont residents on its neighborhood listserv earlier this week.

On Tuesday 09-14-10 in the early morning hours, officers from Arlington County were called to the area of Tuckahoe Street bordering the City of Falls Church for a possible stolen vehicle. ACPD officers apprehended 3 suspects who were responsible for approximately 30 vehicle break-ins. The suspects were arrested and interviewed in Arlington County with the assistance of City of Falls Church detectives.

The suspects broke into 6 vehicles in the Broadmont neighborhood. The suspects stated in their interviews that they travel to Virginia by Metro. They go into the neighborhoods that are known to keep their vehicle doors unlocks and valuable items inside. They do not break windows as that would attract attention. They only steal from vehicles that are unlocked and steal vehicles with keys in the console.

So, Dorkbrain, are you proud of the article from 2011 you were able to find that mentions mere speculation that thieves might have used Metro as a means of escape? Any idea how ridiculously weak that is?

No, I am more inclined to point to the one that actually mentioned that the suspects in a series of vehicle thefts and break ins actually CONFESSED to travelling to VA via the Metro, shitbird.

This one was just to pile on. LoLz

myth - a widely held but false belief or idea.

Sorry, slappy, when something is a fact, it ceases to be a myth.

I made no mention of the color of the skin of the suspects, nor do I have any idea what race they are...

I bet it sucks when facts completely undermine your warped sense of thinking.

Get a clue, dirtbag. Your claims are that waves of crime are coming and all you can find in the actual record are the tiniest little bArely recognizable drips and drops from years gone by. Nobody is buying this slop. You are a pathetic waste of everybody's time.

Like a hapless dork, you are grasping at straws. There is no such thing as a trend of one. The myth of Metro as a conduit for crime is pure junk and crapola. It has never happened anywhere. Period. This is feckless fable passed around by the worst of the ignorant, fearful slime in our society.

You hardly had to, goober. How dumb do you think people are? You're a racist disgrace to the community.

Use of the word "warped" is quite ironic coming from a blatant racist liar. Otherwise, facts have never undermined any of my thinking. Facts are the very building blocks of what I believe, and I believe you are one warped and worthless waste of everybody's time. Nine solar eclipses, beanbag. Those were facts.

By that theory all white people like gassing jews. After all there was a group of white people who did it in 1941 through 1945. Fuckin retarded. Fact is that there was a case where people were stealing cars and came via metro, 4 years ago. How many other cars pray tell were stolen since then from people who didn't use metro. You fuckin tard. How many crimes were committed in Fairfax in areas that aren't metro accessible you dumb cunt cheese. What are the crime rates of Arlington (heavily transit accessible) versus Fairfax or Prince William for that matter (without metro) you dumb piece of trogolodyte shit stains. Step outside and stick your face into your neighbors freedom machine as it whizzes past your hovel of a house.

Yes, but crime can happen anywhere!!! Crime happens with cars as the escape method all the time! Should we outlaw cars because they are too dangerous and promote crime? Comparatively Metro has very low crime. Finding one example that disproves the trend of an overall safe Metro system does not support your argument.

To address another issue that someone brought up... Pentagon City Metro Station existed 12 years before the Pentagon City mall was there, it has always been safe. I am not sure why people have this perception that shady people hang out there; it is not the case.

My only argument is that your contention that criminals don't use the metro to facilitate crime is complete and utter bullshit. You said it didn't happen. I proved it did. Everything else is you just frothing out of your ass.

Sucks to be a bitter bitch like you! LoLz

Facts are my comfort food. Here's one now: You are an ignorant waste of time.

Is the racist claim meanhile that once upon a time police suspected that a group of car-window smashers might have used Metro as a getaway? Or is it that everywhere is overrun by thieving niggers once a Metro line opens nearby? You make the call.

They go with whatever fits their invented racist narrative. They are all about the crudest forms of emotion and nothing more. Fact and reason play no role for them.

Obviously. But they don't care. They'll claim the opposite anyway.

Thieves Strike Cars at Pentagon City Mall Parking Lot
by ARLnow.com

Thieves struck at least 10 vehicles — including two police cars — at the Pentagon City mall parking lot yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon.

Detectives are investigating 10 reports of car break-ins at the mall parking garage yesterday, including five reports of larcenies from auto (items stolen from inside the car) and five reports of attempted larcenies.

Police believe the incidents took place between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Two of the victim vehicles belonged to law enforcement agencies, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. Sternbeck wasn’t able to confirm which agencies were involved, except to say that the vehicles did not belong to Arlington County. ARLnow.com hears that at least one of the vehicles was an undercover Fairfax County police car.

Sternbeck said that mall-goers can help protect themselves from theft by making sure to lock their vehicles and by keeping valuables like iPods, GPS units and cash hidden in a locked glove box or trunk. Shoppers are also asked to report suspicious activity in such parking garages to police or mall security.

Law enforcement made the call....

TYSONS CORNER, Va. (WJLA) - With Metro set to open the new Silver Line on July 26, the long-awaited trains should improve public transit in Western Fairfax.

But, there's concern it could bring increased crime with it.

As Metro was busy completing construction on the stations, Fairfax County police were preparing for what the arrival of Metro would mean for Tysons. Authorities expect an uptick in property and nuisance crimes with Metro coming, but hopefully not robberies and assaults.

Different poster, dumbass. Meanwhile, you need numbers -- big numbers -- to uphold these idiot claims. Your best is specious teeny tiny numbers. You have failed here, dorko. As always.

Pentagon City watch robbery video released: $609K worth of Rolex watches taken
March 19, 2013 - 11:27 am
Updated: March 21, 2013 - 11:27 am

Arlington County Police say they're continuing to search for four suspects who robbed a Pentagon City watch store Tuesday, stealing more than $600,000 in Rolexes in the process.

The robbery happened just before 10:40 a.m. Tuesday at the Tourneau store inside the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, officials say. In surveillance video released by police Thursday, the four masked men walked into the store and went directly toward the Rolex case.

One of the suspects then used a hammer to smash the front of a glass display case, giving him access to the expensive watches. The suspects then made off with 23 Rolex watches with a total value of $609,000. They then fled the mall.

Authorities estimate the suspects were in the store for less than 30 seconds before a fifth suspect in a getaway car helped the robbers get away. That getaway car is described as a gray, four-door sedan.

It was the second smash-and-grab crime at the mall in two months. On Feb. 4, four masked men walked into the Zales Jewelers at the Fashion Centre, shattered a display case with hammers and made off with $128,000 in rings. The men fled in a car driven by a fifth person. Police have not said if they believe the two crimes are related.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to contact police at (703) 228-4241.

This again? You haven't had it stuffed down your throat often enough yet? The changes contemplated reflect ordinary security protocols based on new numbers and new areas where people will be coming and going in the area. Looks like worthless racists will resort to anything. Since they have to.

Paul Matthew Zeller

Paul Zeller, a 24-year-old Iraq war veteran, was murdered on June 30, 2006, while walking near the Pentagon Row shopping center. Detectives say Mr. Zeller was on his way home from work. He exited the Pentagon City Metro Station shortly before midnight, stopped at a grocery store, and then continued on foot toward his home in the Aurora Highlands neighborhood. He was walking on a sidewalk in the 1300 block of S. Joyce Street when he was shot. The first 911 calls were received at approximately 12:06 a.m. Any new information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could help detectives solve this case and bring the victim's family some closure. There is a reward of up to $10,000.

You are able to pick out specific instances of crime, but there is not an abundant amount of evidence that proves that crime is attributed to Metro, or that it is a problem at Pentagon City. Mind you this article is not even related to Metro. Most these negative perceptions are based on speculation.

You are saying that even one instance of crime makes it clear that crime is an issue with Metro, or near the Metro. Pentagon City is one of the busiest metro stations by ridership. You have pointed out a few instances where crime has occurred but the crime statistics make it even clearer that crime is really not an abundant problem.

It is a problem when people convolute crime to be a lot worse than what it really is; rumors are made and negative perceptions make areas appear to be undesirable when it is not the case. Stop the rumors!

This racist douche doesn't understand what incidence rate means. He picks out one or two crimes over a decade span. Congratulations (only 1 had to do with metro btw). He doesn't realize that there were 3 murders in Sterling last year alone, and how many in Prince William? Gotta be atleast a dozen. I didn't realize Prince William county had metro. Arlington on the other hand has gone entire years without a murder and its theft crime rate is lower per 1000 than any other county in Northern Virginia.

The arguing douche is just an old fuck retard republican. Simple. Vote Comstock, watch her crash and burn.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Metro Transit Police released a mug shot of a man accused of stabbing a male at a Metro station in Arlington on Sunday evening, police said.

Jeffrey Kenneth Hicks is accused of stabbing another male at approximately 8:40 p.m. Sunday at the Ballston Metro stop on the D.C. bound-platform, police said.

The male victim was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

Arlington Police and Metro Transit responded to the incident and recovered a knife. We were told on Sunday that deputies took two suspects into custody.

Hicks is charged with aggravated malicious wounding.

It is unclear what prompted the stabbing.

COpy paste is fun, except when you point out equal or more crime happens elsewhere not at metro

"Less than an hour after they found him guilty of murder, Loudoun jurors Monday recommended that Ryan Williams serve the rest of its life in prison of the 2012 shooting death of a Sterling man.

Williams, 32 was convicted of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony following a week-long trial that started June 8 and included testimony from dozens of witnesses, many of them convicted felons.
He will be formally sentenced at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19. Under Virginia law, a judge may reduce a jury's recommended sentence. Virginia is a no-parole state.
Jovaughn Johnson, 30, was found dead from a gunshot wound in his vehicle parked on the street in area of Great Trail Terrace and Trail Run Terrace Dec. 27, 2012. He had been shot that afternoon, but his body was not found for several hours.
Testifying after the verdict was announced and before the jury deliberated on its sentencing recommendations Monday afternoon, Johnson's mother Mary Marvin told the jury she often lies in bed imagining him sitting the car after he died "along for hours."
"I wasn't there to hold his hand or help him crossover...No one should die alone that way," she said, sobbing. She told the jury all she has now of her son is "7 pounds of his ashes, and he was 8 [pounds] 5 [ounces] when he was born."
Johnson's older sister, Elita, testified that their father died only a year and a half before her brother was killed. "Who is going to give me away at my wedding," she asked.
Marvin said she would not tell the jury what to do for a sentence, but "Mr. Williams will be able to tell his mother he loves her. I will never hear that again."
Marvin and more than a dozen of Johnson's family and friends were present in the courtroom for the trial, and there were tears all around as Marvin and Elita Johnson testified—and more tears, hugs and thanks outside the courtroom as they awaited the jury's recommendation."

Playing the race card? Why is that feeble tactic so prevalent among your kind?

Again, I have no idea what race the aforementioned criminal suspects are. You seem to have an idea. Why don't you share that with us and your reason for knowing what race they are.

Hmmm. Stupid is always hard to fix, but you seem to be a particularly resistant case. What we have here is something called "growth". More people, more property, more economic activity, more wealth. That's the whole purpose. In accommodating growth, roads will be upgraded, utilities and infrastructure will be upgraded, security protocols will be upgraded, and mass transit systems will be upgraded. Such as by building Metro lines. End of story except for racists and the extremely stupid.

Yes, it has.

Your "Out of Order" sign has fallen off. Metro is part of the response to growth. Railroads in the 19th century. Streetcars in the early 20th century. Light- and heavy-rail mass transit systems today. Sorry but hardly surprised to learn that you are so far behind the times, and so very, very not with the reality of things.

Some more "stuffing" here: Calling a racist a racist is not playing the race card.

True. No matter how hard I have tried to present you with facts, logic and reason, you still come back with your nonsense. Admitting your problem is a great first step though.

See, this is the stupid we are talking about. This long winded nonsense has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation between you and I. Growth has nothing to do that the evidence points to the accurate conclusion that access to metro is used by criminals to perpetrate property crimes. Past criminals have admitted as much and the police are preparing for as much.

Deny it all you want, the evidence doesn't lie. You, on the other hand, have provided exactly ZERO evidence to support your the bullshit emanating from your keyboard. Finding any evidence to support your assertion is like finding an apartment in Merrifield renting for $35-40 per sqft per month - non-existent.

Thanks for the history lesson, but simply changing the subject won't make you any less wrong than you have been. All of what you just wrote has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. It is like me saying that the expansion of the RRs helped hobos get across the country. You'd tell me I'm wrong because those trains also transported goods.

I'll be sure to tell my ethnic minority wife and children that. The only one making racist assumptions here is you. For all I know, the people committing the property crimes via metro could have been lily white young'uns from Vienna. You seem certain that they were minorities from elsewhere. Why is that? Prejudge much?

I think we can agree that crime can occur anywhere including Metro. However this argument should not be used as encouragement to stop using Metro, or to say that Northern Virginia is having a crime problem. Metro is generally very safe, as is Northern Virginia.

They will take the "hauler" to Reston and steal a BMW of Mercedes for the ride home and drop it off at a chop shop for export to China.

You have evidence of this happening 1 time in 10 years in Arlington. So no they wont you dumb cunt. Theres cameras and surveillance all over the place at metro so any criminal who would try that would not be a criminal for long you dumb fuck. Show me the epidemic of this happening anywhere else (outside of a single event) and I'll start seeing your points. Until then I'd point out murders happen in Manassas, in Leesburg, in Vienna, in Springfield, and yet they are isolated incidents. Just because 1 time something happens, doesn't mean you have a crime problem associated with that occurrence. That is the logic you have none of.

BTW thanks for logging in when you responded this time LetsRock Stabitha. By the way, calling it the hauler, is why you are a fuckin dumbass racist. You are a dumbass because the "hauler" hauls 99% people in suits. You are a racist because we know you call it the nignog nigger hauler when you aren't logged in.

You're right. It was $1,015,000. Before the added cost to fix leaks in the roof, rain diversion, and redesigning cooling for the electronic display.

Yo, you ignorant racist. You have tried to attach crime to Metro without explaining (because you have absolutely no shot at it) how Metro is any more conducive to use by criminals than cars, buses, bicycles, or any other means of transportation. All of these have long histories of use by criminal and non-criminal elements alike, but you desperately want to pretend that Metro is somehow special and will open the door to massive Tysons area crime waves, this despite the fact that it has not happened anywhere else before. Not at Pentagon City. Not at White Flint. Not at Chevy Chase Pavillion. Not a Mazza Gallerie. Not at Ballston Common. Nowhere. Rational people understand that any crime that was going to come to Tysons from any Silver Line Metro stop would already have been here years ago. But like so much else, that's gone right over your addled little dust-filled head.

> Deny it all you want, the evidence doesn't lie.

Yes, I know. But none of it favors you. Meanwhile, I have nine solar eclipses on my side. Stupid pea-brain.

Dude, it is you who's been uncritically and unreservedly propagating the racist Metro meme. Too late to turn back now.

Yes, it seems that success with yourself has prompted you to move on to bigger and better things. Fail, fail, fail, however! Such an epic loser!

LOL at how this took off when I compared the Silver Line to Pentagon City. If there is money the niggers will find it. Go to Chevy Chase near the DC line and see how often the Montgomery County Police are hanging in front of the Tiffany/Jimmy Cho and other overpriced stores near Clyde's and the METRO!

Everyone takes Metro, numb-nuts. How often do you do English anyway?

Not sure where in NoVa this "Fanatsyland" of yours is, but I live among the intelligent people. Which is to say, nowhere near you.

Yup. I can admit when I am wrong. You, clearly can't. It's one of your many character flaws. Now hold on a second while I go look for a 40K sqft lot in a residential neighborhood in Merrifield. Can you help me out with that? LoLz

Factual evidence has been provided. You can't seem to understand or accept facts. I can see how that can be a problem for you.

I said that where? All I did was counter your inane contention that people don't use Metro to commit crimes. Facts show they do. Even law enforcement recognizes it which is why they are preparing for it. This really isn't difficult, so I have to wonder just how effing stupid you are that you don't understand it.

So, those cars and homes near EFC were going to get broken into if the Metro wasn't there. Were these suspects somehow getting there by teleportation? Listen to yourself fumble along here. It strains all credulity.

At what point did I mention race (until you did)? Be specific. I have no idea what race the criminals mentioned above are. You seem to know for sure.

You seem upset. Taken your medication today? Maybe it is time for a trip to your doctor. I pay good money for it, so go ahead and make an appointment.
