@Pachacutec_ The growth is all over. Crystal City is, IMO, one city you can't avoid that has obviously grown, w/tons of contractor labels. -
@emptywheel it is all over VA and MD. But the authorized story is because we're all so smart and meriticratic, especially in Fairfax County -
@Pachacutec_ Right. BC if DC residents had to recognize how much massive govt stimulus they've gotten for 11 years it might ruin austerity. -
@emptywheel nonono, DC metro does not get stimulus. It has created businesses w/ value. feds occasionally not so stupid as to avoid buying

@emptywheel What is your complaint about Crystal City? I live in a bungalow there. It's a great part of Arlington. -
@aconnbrad No complaint. But it has grown immensely since 9/11 (particularly in early years). Obvious demonstration of govt stim in DC area.

@emptywheel no one, and I mean no one, goes to Crystal City willingly. Like the Plano of the mid-Atlantic -
@evanperez Sure, but how do you get to National? Does no one ever take a cab when running late for a plane? -
@emptywheel um, we Uber or Metro and close our eyes thru the Crystal City portion of the trip
