Focusing on dense, walkable community living, Springline at District 60 celebrates the site’s unique history while bringing innovative opportunities and experiences to the area."

That sounds really nice and the kinda thing the US desperately needs more of. It hurts my soul to see so many of the Traditional Urban mixed use areas in my home of PR being left to rot and decay when they could and should be centers of public life like they once were.

Honestly I don’t see how they can realistically take a lane the full distance on any of the southern routes. Midlothian east of Belt is 4 lanes, Route 1 south of Chippenham is also 4. Make Route 1 a 2 lane road and see what happens when 95 shuts down and all the traffic dumps into it.

She's right. I'm a real estate agent and the number of headaches I've either heard or been directly involved with regarding solar are pretty numerous and I have never ever ever met anyone who came out ahead on cost savings with solar. If someone is into solar as a green alternative for personal reasons I get it, but the numbers just don't add up for 99% of people out there.

It is also absofuckinglutely infuriating dealing with solar companies when trying to sell a home. If you don't have the spare cash to buy the panels outright, do not get solar panels.
