Planners are going to have to do a hell of a job making it less of a city of highways and more of a downtown.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-59097799408184467842011-11-16T15:27:08.016-05:002011-11-16T15:27:08.016-05:00given that most tysons commuters wont want to live...given that most tysons commuters wont want to live in tysons (since most prefer living in SFH's) that Tysons is the main downtown of FFX county, and a preferred location for govt contractors and many other firms, and that as a high density residential area, Tysons must compete with Arlington, Alex, Falls Church, Dunn Loring, Reston (not to mention DC and several areas in Md) I think the ratio they are shooting for is aggressiveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-89439273341813915952011-11-16T13:04:15.477-05:002011-11-16T13:04:15.477-05:00If the capital of our country moves to Tysons, the...If the capital of our country moves to Tysons, then their goal ratio would make sense.

I agree that they could be more ambitious and have something closer to 1:1 or so, but I think that's unrealistic. Tysons will be primarily a job center for some time to come so I don't think it's going to flip the current ratio on it's head and make it a destination for families all of a sudden. The ratio in Downtown DC is pretty jacked (DC almost doubles in population each day), so perhaps DC is silly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-43098875008896650902011-11-15T16:50:18.205-05:002011-11-15T16:50:18.205-05:00"by 2050, Tysons Corner will be transformed i..."by 2050, Tysons Corner will be transformed into a walkable, sustainable, urban center that will be home to up to 100,000 residents and 200,000 jobs."<br /><br />Is that seriously the ratio they're looking for? It should at least be reversed - 200,000 residents and 100,000 jobs. Or are they shooting for another Pentagon City?
