“Starting to look like BLADE RUNNER, like all the stack-n-pack neo-villages are .. according to “the plan” (you know, the one permeating so many movies), apparently every futureling shall live, work, birth, die within a 20 mile radius, with no cars, probably not even horses, no land, no escape nor freedom beyond choice of corporate morning doughnut…and according to the predictive-programming that is George Lucas’ first movie “THX-1138″, probably even that freedom will not keep.”
What do you think about the new high-rise in Bethesda? Do you see it benefiting the area?
17.5% “Moderately” priced units was the compromise made to get 250 units. That wont help any low wage workers who need housing near transportation hubs like downtown Bethesda. It will finacially benefit the developers and a few real estate pros on the inside track. Much of the living space will be unoccupied because the ultra wealthy buyers who already have 3 or 4 homes only use them as a safe way to park capital.
Starting to look like BLADE RUNNER, like all the stack-and-pack eco-villages are .. according to “the plan” (you know, that one permeating so many movies), pretty, much every futureperson will live, work, birth, die within a 20 mile radius, with no cars, probably not even horses, no land, no real freedom beyond choice of corporate doughnut that morning…and according to the predictive-programming that is George Lucas’ first movie “THX-1138”, probably even that freedom will not last long after.
