Comments
the only reason a review is requested is for funding because there isn't enough money the way it's funded now
even with the taxes already imposed on the localities it operates in.
all due to the constant consolidation of so many jobs in the D.C. area.
the unwillingness of the workers to live in high rise apartments.that developers want to lease out.
politicians are creating the problems, for donations from developers
developers are benefiting from the consolidation, by having taxpayers pay for the lerases
the worker is being forced to chose
their jobs-- or the way of life they lead.
commuting, being punished with high & higher tolls or taxes to pay for mass transit,
needed to transport people to & from work.
then the problems servicing them---look at the sewage problems Alexandra has
the Potomac River has, the people down river from them, that no one talks about
